The Park Ranger is responsible for providing a safe and secure environment for visitors, volunteers, and staff while providing excellent customer service.


    Some experience is preferred but not expected or required. A willingness to learn and work in a team atmosphere is critical. This is a permanent, full-time, hourly, non-exempt position (40 hours a week) with a starting hourly rate of $17.00 an hour. The Museum is open seven days a week, so the Park Ranger is expected to work rotating 8-hour shifts, including weekends and some holidays. In addition to getting to work at a really fun Museum and Park, we offer really great benefits, including:

    • Three weeks of accrued vacation from your first day. 
    • Two weeks of accrued sick leave. 
    • Personal Days. 
    • 12 paid holidays. 
    • Retirement Plan with company match. 
    • Health and Dental Insurance with generous employer contribution. 
    • Coffee, donuts, and professional development every Thursday. 
    • Opportunities to experience new things like kayaking on Mariners’ Lake!

The Park Rangers also monitor and patrol Mariners’ Lake and provide safety support to Lake programming.


    Museum Responsibilities:


    While inside the Museum, the Park Rangers are responsible for operating our Control Room and monitoring the cameras and alarms while also being the first point of contact for business-related visitors.
