Parking Attendant (Guest Experience) - Weekends Required

Parking Attendant

Pippin Hill Farm & Vineyards is seeking a reliable, guest-focused Parking Attendant to join our team.

This role is about more than directing traffic. As one of the first and last team members our guests interact with, you play an important role in creating a welcoming, organized, and positive experience from arrival through departure.

You will help manage parking operations, assist guests with questions, coordinate with transportation providers, and support the overall flow of service during weddings, events, and busy tasting room weekends.

This is an active, outdoor position that requires professionalism, strong communication skills, and the ability to work in varying weather conditions.

What You'll Do

• Welcome guests with a friendly and professional attitude upon arrival
• Direct vehicles safely and efficiently throughout the property
• Manage parking areas to maximize capacity and maintain smooth traffic flow
• Assist guests with directions and basic property information
• Coordinate with transportation companies, event teams, and tasting room staff
• Help create organized arrivals and departures during high-volume periods
• Monitor parking areas for safety, cleanliness, and organization
• Serve as a positive ambassador for the Pippin Hill guest experience

Why This Role Matters

For many guests, you will be the first and last employee they interact with during their visit.

The way guests are welcomed onto the property and sent off at the end of their experience helps shape their overall impression of Pippin Hill. A calm, organized arrival and departure experience is an important part of the hospitality we provide every day.

You are not simply directing traffic—you are helping create the first impression when guests arrive and the last impression they take with them when they leave.

Why This Role Stands Out

• High guest interaction — not a back-of-house position
• Be part of weddings, celebrations, and memorable guest experiences
• Work outdoors in a beautiful setting
• Every day is different depending on guest volume, events, and transportation needs
• Play a key role in helping the property operate smoothly during busy weekends

And yes, there is a little bit of real-life Tetris involved.

A successful Parking Attendant is constantly thinking ahead, maximizing available space, managing vehicle flow, coordinating arrivals, and adapting to changing conditions throughout the day. If you enjoy solving logistical puzzles and creating order in busy environments, you'll likely enjoy this role.

What We're Looking For

• Friendly, approachable, and confident interacting with guests
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills
• Ability to remain calm and professional in busy environments
• Dependable and punctual
• Comfortable working outdoors in all seasons and weather conditions
• Able to stay active and on your feet for extended periods
• Strong situational awareness and problem-solving skills
• Works well independently and as part of a team
• Weekend availability is essential

Schedule

• Part-time position
• Weekend availability required (Friday–Sunday)
• Schedule will vary based on business needs, weddings, and special events
• Additional weekday shifts may be available during peak seasons and events

Physical Requirements

• Ability to stand and walk for extended periods
• Ability to work outdoors in heat, cold, rain, and varying weather conditions
• Ability to communicate clearly with guests, drivers, and team members
• Ability to safely direct vehicle and pedestrian traffic
• Ability to navigate uneven outdoor terrain
