Job description

DZONE® Skydiving has openings available for professional parachute packers; previous experience is a plus but not required. Training is available.

While all applicants will be considered, preference will be given to FAA Riggers.

To succeed on our team, you must truly value the entire experience every guest has at the dropzone. You will develop trust with your team members, communicate respectfully, and contribute positively. You take pride in your work and welcome feedback and training.

In return for your commitment to making DZONE® the best it can be, we offer you a work environment you can enjoy and occasional free or discounted jumps!

Being a packer is a time-honored way for new jumpers to get into the swing of life working at a skydiving center. Becoming a packer gives you access to knowledge and contact with all the people who already work in the areas you might want to grow into. Many highly experienced jumpers started their professional skydiving career this way.

DZONE uses UPT Micro-Sigma Tandem Systems with TX2-330 Parachutes.

The work week is Thursday - Sunday.

Non-smokers are preferred.

DZONE® Skydiving is an equal opportunity employer.
