Description
Are you looking for a unique opportunity to affect thousands of people?
Does the idea of running a recreation facility sound like a fun challenge to you?
If yes, consider becoming the Facility Lead for Coronation Park Sports and Recreation Centre. This new large recreation centre will be serving Edmontonians of all ages and abilities to meet their needs for sport, recreational and leisure opportunities. Amenities include a large fitness centre, sport courts, an indoor walking/running track, an indoor playground, a bouldering wall, a 50m pool, hot tub, steam room, sauna and cold plunge pool, as well as various program studios and multi-purpose spaces supporting the delivery of a wide range of programs and services as well as emerging recreation activities. In the centre of the facility will be a UCI (International Cycling Federation) sanctioned 250-metre indoor velodrome, which will be programmed by our sport partner. For triathlon and track cycling the facility will serve as a year-round training ground, and attract events in both sports from local to international level of competition.
As we are preparing for opening this facility in early 2026, we are looking for a knowledgeable, highly organized, detail-oriented, flexible and motivated leader to fill an operational facility manager role at this location.
During this initial preparation phase you will work alongside the Supervisor and Crew Leader for the facility on all operational aspects that need to be in place to ensure we'll have a welcoming, well-functioning and safe environment once we open the doors to the public. Duties will be related to fitting up the centre with furniture, fixtures and equipment, working on emergency preparedness, resource planning, SOP development, supporting the construction teams with whatever they need to complete the project according to our needs.
Once we are operating, you are responsible for a team of lifeguards and pool service persons, managing the day-to-day operations on the aquatics side but also assisting with overall facility management as needed. As a member of the facility's core team you will also be a face to our customers, expected to provide excellent customer service to all visitors.
Ultimately you are part of a team to ensure the smooth running of an entire recreation facility. If you're up for this challenge, step up and apply today!
