SUNRIVER RESORT LOOKS TO HIRE AS MANY AS 250 LOCAL EMPLOYEES FOR PEAK SEASON

Career Fair Scheduled For Saturday, April 3 From 10am-2pm At Sunriver Resort

“With Deschutes County’s current unemployment rate above 13 percent, and with fewer jobs in the marketplace, we have access to a local labor force that is willing and eager to find work even in a seasonal capacity,” said Tom O’Shea, managing director of Sunriver Resort. “Many of these individuals were employed elsewhere in the region a year ago, and this gives them a chance to get back into the workforce and learn new skills in the process.”

A variety of seasonal positions are available, including front desk agents, golf guest services, stewards, recreation aids, housekeepers, cooks, servers and more. Most of the seasonal positions last through Labor Day, with some positions available until October. A complete list of positions and an online application tool are available at www.sunriverresortjobs.com. Candidates may also contact the Sunriver Resort Human Resources office directly at 541-593-4600.

The Resort offers competitive compensation, a fun work environment, unique resort benefits (see complete list of benefits below), flexible scheduling, comprehensive health coverage and 401(K), free transportation from Bend and La Pine for daytime schedules, management training/leadership certifications, and on-site continuing education.
