Job Description

The Fresno Convention & Entertainment Center (FCEC) is a premier multi-venue facility located in Fresno, California, dedicated to hosting a wide array of events ranging from concerts and conventions to sporting events and theatrical performances. Comprising key venues such as the Fresno Convention Center, Selland Arena, Saroyan Theatre, and Valdez Hall, the FCEC serves as a central hub for cultural, entertainment, and community gatherings in the region. Managed professionally by VenuWorks, a company specializing in venue management, the FCEC is committed to delivering exceptional experiences to its guests, performers, and event organizers through seamless operations and customer service excellence.

Within the dynamic environment of the FCEC, the role of Parking Manager is crucial to the overall success of every event and daily operation. This position is responsible for overseeing all parking and traffic control functions across multiple venues within the complex. The Parking Manager ensures that parking operations are carried out safely, efficiently, and with a strong focus on guest satisfaction. This role requires strategic planning and effective coordination with various departments such as Event Services, Security, and Operations, as well as external partners including city officials and transportation services.

The Parking Manager leads a team of Parking Attendants and Leads, carrying out comprehensive supervisory responsibilities that encompass hiring, training, evaluating performance, and enforcing policies consistent with VenuWorks standards. The role demands the development and execution of event-specific parking and traffic management plans designed to accommodate events of all sizes and complexities. Flexibility in work hours is essential, as the manager must cover events that often occur during evenings, weekends, and holidays.

Vigilance in maintaining safety standards, ADA compliance, and smooth traffic flow across parking areas is a top priority. The manager also oversees the setup and maintenance of all parking equipment, signage, cones, barricades, and lighting necessary for effective parking operations.

Financial oversight is part of the role, including tracking operational costs, assisting with budgeting, and identifying opportunities to enhance revenue generation from parking services. Post-event evaluations are conducted to analyze performance and implement improvements for future operations. Strong leadership skills, customer service orientation, and the capacity to anticipate and resolve operational challenges are essential attributes for success in this position.

This role offers a competitive hourly wage ranging from $25.00 to $30.00 and includes a comprehensive benefits package comprising medical, dental, vision, life and disability insurance, paid vacation, and a 401(k) retirement plan.
