Zamboni Operator

Come Join the Danbury Ice Arena Team!

Take your love of ice to the next level by learning how it’s made and maintained! Danbury Ice Arena is seeking both full-time and part-time team members to operate and maintain Zamboni equipment, monitor and adjust ice-making systems, perform minor repairs, and assist with rink board and glass maintenance and cleaning.

We are hiring at multiple experience levels, from Senior Ice Technicians with significant, verifiable experience to Ice Technicians with basic knowledge and entry-level Ice Tech Support team members who have skating experience and are eager to learn.

Pay will be based on experience and skill level.
