Facility Maintenance
• Monitor the stadium grounds daily to ensure the event footprint remains clean, well maintained, secure and protect the CarMax Park facility.

• Problem Solving: Ability to make quick, calm decisions in a bustling, high-volume environment.
• Physical Demands: Comfort working on your feet for extended periods outdoors in winter weather conditions.
• Schedule Availability: Total flexibility to work heavy evening, weekend, and holiday shifts across the 39-day event run.
