The Banquet Supervisor role available at the Mass Mutual Center in Springfield, Massachusetts, is a part-time position that pays an hourly rate between $18.00 to $23.00.

The Banquet Supervisor is responsible for overseeing all aspects of banquet or event operations, from the initial set-up through to food presentation, serving, and final cleanup.

Mastery of point-of-sale and timekeeping systems, alongside proficiency with common computer software, is essential. This role requires a dynamic leader who is motivated, detail-oriented, and capable of multitasking while setting a positive example for the team.

This position not only offers competitive pay but also includes benefits such as a 401(k) Savings Plan with matching eligibility, even for part-time employees.
