Concessions Intern - Evansville, IN (Evansville, IN) DESCRIPTION: The Evansville Otters have full-time internships available for the 2014 season. The internship positions are summer positions that start on May 1 and run through the conclusion of the season in September. Applicants with senior standing will be given preference for internship positions. The Evansville Otters play in the 14-team independent Frontier League and our league’s senior member. Playing at historic Bosse Field where every night is Opening Night, interns have a chance to operate in one of America’s last remaining true baseball cathedrals. Built in 1915, Bosse Field has been home to many teams, and many hall of famers played baseball at one time or another in Evansville. Bosse Field is one of three stadiums to be used in the filming “A League of Their Own”. If you are looking to get that foot in the door of sports, there is no better place to start than with the Evansville Otters! EXPECTATIONS: The Evansville Otters expect interns to consider themselves a part of our full time staff. All employees are expected to work all home games including night, weekend and holiday dates. Candidates are required to be enthusiastic with a great desire to put on a night of entertainment and memories for all fans at historic Bosse Field. Within minor league baseball, the front office staff performs duties at all levels of management and maintenance. From time to time, staff members will be required to help sell tickets, work in our concessions operations, interact with players and coaches, help clean the stadium, pull the tarp over the infield and other tasks, in addition to their primary duties. Everyone working in professional minor league baseball wears many “hats”, so a willingness to go above and beyond one’s normal duties is expected. The Otters offer the opportunity to learn the business of baseball from the ground up. Many past interns who have planned to continue a career in professional sports have been given that opportunity to continue either with the Evansville Otters or with other professional sports teams. ************* CONCESSIONS INTERNSHIPS – 3 AVAILABLE************* IN SEASON DUTIES: Assist in daily stadium operational duties around ballpark including but not limited to: Preparing picnic areas for nightly group events, helping set-up and close down stadium before/after each home game, assisting supervision of the concession operations, working hand in hand with game day staff manager regarding proper staffing for each game, processing food orders and inventory of operations equipment, maintaining general operational functions during game, ensuring adherence to Department of Labor and Health Code regulations, general office and ballpark support functions as necessary REQUIREMENTS: Candidates must have ability to think on one’s feet as well as work with a wide variety of personalities.
