Q. How Can I Apply For A Job?

It’s best if you can come down in person to fill out an application form and bring in your resume.

If we’re not open for the season yet, you can either email us at info@thunderrapids.ca, send by fax, or mail in your resume.

We usually hire at least a few new part-time and full-time staff each season. Positions consist of mechanics, track and bumper boat personnel, and inside staff for concession and ticket sales.

It’s not just a great place to come and visit – it’s also a great place to work!
