Special Projects Associate
About The Position
Block by Block is looking for people who like working outdoors, staying active, and feeling a sense of accomplishment while improving some of your city's most important public spaces. If you love interacting with people in your current environment, but are looking for more variety in your assignments, this might be the job for you! Special Project Ambassadors are often like the local caretakers in the public spaces they serve because they professionally represent not only Block by Block, but their customers, and they realize they're highly visible and operate in one of our cities' most important fish bowls. They help the public see that the space they serve is well cared for, leading to more return visits and sharing positive experiences. They take ownership of every person's experience in the public space, whether it's a visitor, resident, worker or member of the street population. As a Special Projects Ambassador, no two days are ever the same, but a typical day will likely include circulating through assigned work zones in the work area completing manual and/or mechanical cleaning of needed items or spaces, operating large hot water power units to clean sidewalks or plazas, street furniture, or any other areas in need of deep cleaning, and operating large litter vacuums to sweep up litter, debris or leaves. A key part of the role is staying visible and having friendly interactions with the people in the public space served, and ongoing reporting using a simple smart phone app to report normal activities and maintenance reports.
