OPPORTUNITIES IN THE SKATEPARK INDUSTRY
For many, a job in the skatepark industry is a life-long dream. While it is an amazing way to make your living, it's still a great deal of hard work, creative thinking and long hours.
To take a project from concept to grand opening requires a small army of planners, administrative staff, procurement specialists, budget keepers, executive decision makers, architects, engineers, cost estimators, draftspeople, rendering specialists, bid writers, contractors, inspectors, landscapers and maintenance staff - the specialists who actually design and build the skatepark are a small part of the larger equation.
At Skatepark Workshop, we focus on client-based solutions. That means keeping the big picture in mind and doing what's right - not just pushing for the biggest, gnarliest skatepark possible.
We need open-minded individuals with a passion for skateboarding, BMX, and other action sports. We need those people to stay open-minded as they engage with decision makers, advocates and muncipal staff of every stripe and color. It's a not a black and white world (street vs. bowl, skateboard vs. bike, NIMBY vs. skateboarders).
Below are our current openings. If interested, please send a cover letter and resume to skateparkadvocate@gmail.com.
