Amusement Equipment & Maintenance Technician

Job Description

Job Description

Eastern Shore Lanes – Spanish Fort, Alabama
Full-Time | $50,000/year | Medical, Dental & PTO

Eastern Shore Lanes is looking for a dependable, hands-on  Amusement Equipment & Maintenance Technician to join our team.

This is not primarily a building-maintenance position. We are looking for someone who enjoys troubleshooting, repairing and maintaining mechanical and electrical equipment.

Our family entertainment center includes 24 bowling lanes, a large arcade, electric go-karts, laser tag, high ropes, Clip ’n Climb, mini golf and other attractions. You will help keep this equipment operating safely and reliably.

What You'll Work On

Responsibilities include:

• Troubleshoot and repair  arcade games and amusement equipment
• Maintain and troubleshoot our  electric go-karts
• Assist with maintenance and repair of  Brunswick GSX bowling equipment
• Diagnose electrical and mechanical problems involving  motors, sensors, switches, relays, wiring and power supplies
• Use a  multimeter and other diagnostic tools to identify equipment problems
• Perform preventive maintenance according to manufacturer schedules
• Inspect equipment for wear, damage and potential safety issues
• Make mechanical adjustments and replace worn or damaged components
• Maintain attractions including laser tag, climbing equipment and other entertainment systems
• Perform basic facility repairs when needed
• Keep maintenance areas, tools and parts organized
• Document repairs and preventive-maintenance work
• Respond promptly when equipment goes down during operating hours
• Work with management to identify recurring equipment problems and prevent future downtime

You Do NOT Need Bowling or Arcade Experience

We are willing to train the right person on our specific equipment.

We are especially interested in candidates with experience in areas such as:

• Automotive or equipment repair
• Industrial maintenance
• Electrical or electronic troubleshooting
• Arcade or amusement equipment
• HVAC or appliance repair
• Low-voltage electrical systems
• Golf carts, electric vehicles or similar equipment
• Motors, controls, sensors and wiring

If you are the type of person who likes figuring out  why something isn't working and how to fix it , we want to talk to you.

What We're Looking For

The ideal candidate:

• Has strong  mechanical aptitude
• Has hands-on electrical troubleshooting experience
• Is comfortable using hand tools, power tools and a multimeter
• Can troubleshoot a problem rather than simply replace parts
• Is dependable and takes pride in keeping equipment operating properly
• Understands the importance of  safety and preventive maintenance
• Can work independently but also communicate well with managers and other employees
• Is willing to learn specialized bowling, arcade and amusement equipment
• Can lift, bend, climb and work around machinery as required
• Is available to work some  evenings and weekends when needed

Why Join Eastern Shore Lanes?

This is an opportunity to work on a much wider variety of equipment than a typical maintenance position. One day you may be troubleshooting an arcade game, the next an electric go-kart, bowling machine or attraction.

We offer:

$50,000 annual salary
Full-time position
Medical insurance
Dental insurance
Paid time off
Hands-on training on specialized equipment
Opportunity to grow as you learn our equipment and operation

Eastern Shore Lanes is looking for someone who wants to become our  go-to equipment technician and build a long-term career with our company.

Job Type: Full-time
Location: Eastern Shore Lanes, Spanish Fort, Alabama
Pay: $50,000 per year

One change I strongly recommend

On ZipRecruiter, I would title it:

Amusement Equipment & Maintenance Technician

rather than  Facility Maintenance Technician .

That should better target the  mechanic/electrical/equipment -repair person you're actually looking for and reduce applicants whose experience is primarily janitorial or building maintenance.

For your screening questions, I'd also use questions that quickly identify people who can troubleshoot equipment. I can write those 5 ZipRecruiter screening questions next , including which answers should automatically disqualify an applicant.
