We encourage applications from mature individuals 14 years and up, though some positions require specific age requirements.  In some cases, we have considered younger staff for part time positions if they show that they possess the necessary maturity and life skills.

All applications can be made online at www.maritimefun.com/jobs/

Once you have submitted your application, we may contact you for an interview. Interviews are usually conducted as group interviews. Once you are interviewed, we will contact successful applicants within one week to offer available positions.

Schedules are posted on an online scheduling system called When I Work. They are posted every Wednesday for the following Sunday to Saturday. Occasional time off can be requested through When I Work at least two weeks in advance. Staff are responsible for their own schedule. E-mail will be the primary source of communication for posting schedules and for scheduling requests. It is your responsibility to check your e-mail at least every second day to receive notifications from the scheduling software (When I Work). Always call (not e-mail or text) if an unforeseen situation will make you miss a shift or late for a shift (i.e. illness). An e-mail may not be received in time for management to adjust the schedule in these circumstances and although texting can sometimes be useful, you cannot assume the member of management you are contacting is currently on shift, so it is not a suitable primary means of communication. If you are calling about a shift for that day you should do so with as much notice as possible by calling the Maritime Fun Group Reception desk (902-963-3939 ext. 0).

This must be done through When I Work. This feature is not to be used for emergencies or sick days. If you absolutely cannot make it to work because of external circumstances, always call Reception (902-963-3939 ext. 0). When a request is approved, it sends a message to all eligible employees and asks them if they want the shift you are trying to swap or drop. An approved request does not automatically remove the shift from your schedule. The shift is still your responsibility until another employee takes it. If your shift is not taken by another employee and you do not show up to work, your absence will be noted as unexcused. Swap/Drop Requests need to be submitted in advance. They will not be approved if submitted past 5:00pm, the day before your shift, or if submitted the day of your shift.

Yes, please let us know what hours you are available, and we will schedule additional shifts.

Our staff enjoy a wide range of extra benefits, including a 50% discount on all food purchases while on shift, a 25% discount at all Maritime Fun Group food locations on PEI while off duty, unlimited free admission for each staff member and a guest or family member  to all Maritime Fun Group attractions on PEI (excluding The Hangar Laser Tag Arena, Pit Stop Karting, The Relic Escape Adventure, and KOA Cavendish), relax with staff events and parties all year long, receive rewards for a job well done such as movie passes, free meals, and other prizes and the Back to School Bonus Program and Referral Bonus Program.

Your supervisor will meet you at the entrance on your first shift with your uniform and assign you a location for the day and begin training.

Usually, our attractions are open rain or shine. You will be telephoned if your location is opening late or is closed. If in doubt, call and ask. If weather is unfavorable, you must ensure you are reachable by phone. Ignoring your phone to keep your hours is unacceptable. If multiple attempts are made to call you without response you will likely be sent home from your shift upon arrival. You are expected to be at work unless notified otherwise.

Employees are expected to be reachable by phone and by email. Please make every effort to check your email frequently, answer your phone, and update your contact information immediately should a change occur.

Wages are based on the requirements of a particular job, such as food safety, first aid and lifeguarding certifications, provincial legislation and our commitment to ensuring that staff are fairly compensated.

Direct deposits are issued bi-weekly. Payroll schedules are posted in staff rooms. Pay will reflect hours worked as of the end of the Saturday prior to pay day. 

New employees will be required to attend an orientation session in the spring. During this time, they will become familiar with general park policies and procedures. Employees that cannot attend this session will be required to undergo an alternate orientation prior to their first shift. In depth training at specific stations will take place when appropriate. An employee station assignment is based on several factors including:

• Insurance liability restrictions such as: age, possession of a driver’s license.

• Worker’s Compensation restrictions

• Responsibility

• Friendliness

• Ability to learn

• Certifications such as lifeguarding, food safety, etc

Ride/station trainings are done by members of management or senior employees who are deemed qualified for training by the shift manager. Length of time for a training varies from station to station. A training will always include shadowing and be followed up by a verbal secondary evaluation and time for questions. A new trainee will never be left alone at a station until the training is complete and the trainee and trainer are each satisfied with the results. Staff will also be periodically audited throughout the summer to ensure standards of training are maintained. Management does their best to rotate staff between stations and continually train employees on new rides/stations that interest them. If you have a specific question/concern about training, you can schedule a time with management where a discussion can be had about particular factors that may need to be addressed. An employee will never operate a ride or attraction until they have been trained by a qualified trainer.

Occasional time off can be requested through When I Work at least two weeks in advance. Time off is a privilege. Weddings are a good excuse for time off, shopping trips are not. Although we do our best to accommodate your wishes, there are no guarantees and employees are required to report to their shifts as scheduled. Weekly reoccurring scheduling requests need to be given to the Human Resource Manager before they begin working. For example, if you cannot work past 6:00 p.m. on Tuesdays because of soccer games, this request must be e-mailed to the Human Resource Manager prior to the first schedule being posted. Please note that scheduling requests may impact the total number of possible shifts available. Unless an employee reports an absence in advance, or unless an absence is justified, every employee is expected to work their scheduled shift. Extended absences must be reported each day. Unjustified absences, or manufacturing excuses for time off/absences, will result in dismissal.

Contact Human Resources right away at 902-963-3939 ext 221.

You will be issued a uniform when you begin. You will be asked to sign a contract when you receive the uniform, as well as when you return or exchange any piece of the uniform. Your signature is an acknowledgement of receipt of the articles listed, which will be used when you return the items. These uniforms belong to Maritime Fun Group and are on loan. Items not returned, or returned in poor condition, will be deducted from your final pay cheque, based on current replacement cost of the item. If you need to exchange sizes do so with the office, not co-workers.

Yes! Transit PEI operates a summer public transit service to Cavendish from Charlottetown and Summerside.

We encourage you to arrange a car pool with another staff member or two. Larger car pools might not be accommodated, as we have a limited number of positions available for each shift.

Contact our Human Resources Department at jobs@maritimefun.com to let us know if you are carpooling, and we will do our best to accommodate.

If you have to call in sick for a shift, please call the Maritime Fun Group main reception at 902-963-3939 ext 0 and leave a message as soon as possible. Please do not call or text your supervisor, as the supervisor might not be on shift that day.
