The sports and entertainment portfolio at COTA is unmatched in the country with Formula 1 US Grand Prix, NASCAR and MotoGP attracting global fans during championship races on the famed Circuit and Live Nation producing over 30 headline concerts every year at the Germania Insurance Amphitheater. COTALAND is an amusement park with over 30 attractions and experiences, including first-of-their-kind roller coasters.

At COTALAND, we're creating more than a theme park. We're creating memorable experiences for every Guest who walks through our gates. Every Crew Member plays an important role in making those experiences possible, from the first interaction when Guests arrive through the end of their day.

As a TRAM OPERATOR, you'll help create a safe, hassle-free, and welcoming start and end to our Guests' day by transporting them between COTALAND parking areas and designated Guest arrival locations.

You'll safely operate COTALAND passenger trams along approved routes to provide safe boarding, transportation, and unloading. You'll perform required vehicle and equipment checks, maintain awareness of vehicles and pedestrians throughout the route, communicate changing conditions or safety concerns, and provide friendly and helpful service to Guests.

This is more than getting Guests from one place to another. Tram Operators are part of the Guest Arrival experience and are among the first and last Crew Members many Guests will interact with during their visit. A safe ride, friendly interaction, and helpful information can help set the tone for a great day at COTALAND and provide a positive finish as Guests head home.

Roles start at $20 per hour. Full time and part time hours are available.

Perks include free park admission, discounts, racing event tickets and more.
