Train and manage servers to meet Outstanding in the Field’s service standards

Additional Details
Tour Crew members must be available for the full tour season (May–November) and be comfortable with extensive travel and limited personal downtime. Our days are long (typically 12+ hours) and include setup, service, and breakdown. This is physically demanding outdoor work, rain or shine, and requires the ability to lift at least 50 lbs.
