Job Description

The university is a prominent institution dedicated to providing a safe, efficient, and organized campus environment for students, faculty, staff, and visitors. A critical part of maintaining the smooth operation of the campus transportation system is the management and enforcement of parking regulations. To achieve this goal, the university employs dedicated personnel who are responsible for overseeing parking operations across various lots and sections. Among these vital roles is the position of Mobile Parking Attendant, which plays a key role in ensuring that parking facilities are utilized properly and that the flow of vehicles is managed effectively. This position contributes directly to creating an orderly parking environment that supports the overall functionality and accessibility of the campus.

This Mobile Parking Attendant position is designed to patrol assigned parking areas throughout the campus, ensuring that vehicle compliance with zoning and permit requirements is consistently maintained. Responsibilities extend beyond simple monitoring; attendants actively engage with drivers, offering courteous customer service, answering questions about parking policies, providing directions within the university, and assisting with pay station issues when needed. The position also includes the practical task of issuing parking citations using mobile technology tools designed to streamline the enforcement process efficiently and accurately.

In addition to enforcement duties, Mobile Parking Attendants are tasked with maintaining safety and upkeep within the parking areas by promptly reporting incidents such as damaged signage, malfunctions in equipment, or any potential safety hazards. They also play an essential role during peak periods or special events by managing traffic flow to avoid congestion, guiding vehicles to available spaces, and ensuring that the parking lots remain functional and safe for all users.

While this position demands physical mobility and a keen attention to detail, it does not come with benefit eligibility, offering flexibility that can suit individuals seeking part-time or supplemental income opportunities within a dynamic university setting. The role requires a valid driver’s license and strong interpersonal skills, along with the ability to use technology confidently, such as the T2 mobile enforcement device.

Working as a Mobile Parking Attendant at the university provides a unique opportunity to be part of the institution's campus operations and contribute directly to the everyday campus experience of thousands of people. It is ideal for applicants who are detail-oriented, customer-focused, and capable of managing responsibilities independently while upholding the standards and policies of the university’s parking services department.
