Brunswick Parks Department Seeks Seasonal Rangers, Maintenance Workers for Summer

Brunswick's Parks and Recreation Department posted three tiers of seasonal positions on March 26, opening applications for a Park Ranger role paying $19.50 to $20.00 per hour, a weekend Gate Closer position, and multiple maintenance-worker openings timed to staff the town's parks and waterfront facilities through summer.

The Park Ranger term runs through September 22, covering peak use of the town's 66 parks, 31 miles of trails, and boat landings. Rangers will handle visitor assistance and education, enforce park rules and town ordinances with an emphasis on customer service, log daily conditions and incidents, and assist with traffic and crowd control at events. The town's formal position description also includes conducting tours, running programs, and coordinating directly with the Parks and Facilities Manager.

Gate Closer and maintenance workers will handle the site-level work that shapes what boaters and trail users encounter on any given visit: opening and securing facilities, restroom and grounds upkeep. Managing roughly 2,600 acres across 66 sites, the department views maintenance staffing as central to keeping facilities clean and accessible through the summer months when Brunswick's waterfront boat launches and trail networks see their heaviest traffic.

The department describes seasonal work as "more than just a job," framing the positions as an entry point to public-sector experience and a direct contribution to the community.

Applicants for the Park Ranger role are expected to bring public customer service experience and outdoor work background; prior parks experience and certifications are preferred for some roles. The late-March posting gives the department time to conduct interviews, complete background checks, and onboard staff before spring programming begins in earnest.
