The part-time, hourly position—posted on May 26—offers a starting wage of $16–$17 per hour, commensurate with experience, along with benefits such as Nature Store discounts and access to Pro Deals.

The role, which requires 2–4 years of experience, involves maintaining the cleanliness and operational readiness of both centers, including daily custodial tasks, event setup/breakdown, and inventory management. Applicants will work 20 hours per week, primarily at McLane Center with twice-weekly visits to Massabesic Center, though schedules may vary based on organizational needs.

• Event support: Setting up and breaking down tables, chairs, and equipment for public programs, educational events, and community gatherings.
