About The Position

As a Facilities Plumber, you’ll be part of the behind-the-scenes team that keeps water flowing safely and reliably across a large, multi-acre campus that hosts year-round events and experiences. From maintaining clean water systems for public spaces to repairing fountains, storm drains, and restroom facilities, your work will directly support the smooth operations of the venue and the comfort of thousands of guests. This is a hands-on, problem-solving role ideal for a skilled plumber who thrives on variety. You’ll handle plumbing systems across the entire property—potable water, wastewater, stormwater, and more—while also supporting cross-trade projects, seasonal events, and ongoing facility improvements. One day you might be repairing a water line in a high-traffic area, and the next installing new drainage to support a major upcoming event. Through all of your work, you’ll uphold our core values of Education, Serve, Care, Integrity, Fun, and Respect.
