With winter approaching, BVCS is looking for snow clearing help. This is paid work, with responsibilities for sidewalks and walkways only. Perfect work for mature high school students, retirees or other community members.
Ideally, this would be taken by a group sot that the responsibilities and hours could be coordinated and shared. This covers absences and lightens the collective load.
- the employee(s) will be independently responsible to monitor snow levels and make decisions about when (how often) and how (shovel and/or equipment) the sidewalks should be cleared. They will also ensure that walkways have been cleared of ice, using ice melt and traction grit.
- BVCS will supply the equipment (gas-powered snow blower, shovels, scoops) and supplies (concrete-safe snow melter and sand)
You must be:
- able-bodied, capable of handling equipment and hand-shovelling snow/slush
- competent with operating gas-powered snowblowers (including fuelling and checking oil)
- able to get yourself to BVCS for early mornings when required
- if you are a student who does not drive, you must get parent approval before we will agree to hire you. You will be relying on your parents to get you here before school and possibly on weekends/holidays.
Responsibilities:
- clearing all paved walkways, sidewalks and paths. This is not for clearing the parking lots or fire lanes (those are machine cleared by a contractor)
- applying snow melter and/or sand to entrances and walkways (BVCS supplies)
- Most of this work will be early mornings. Start/end times depend on snowfall depth.
- clearing would need to be done prior to school on school days
- may involve weekend work including Saturdays (if there are weekend events such as sports) and occasional Sundays (when snowfall amounts warrant prior to a school day)
- may also involve holiday work
This is paid work ($25/hour). Hours will be submitted to the business administrator.
