We are looking for a Pool Operations Specialist who will ensure the safe, clean, and customer-focused operation of our aquatic facilities. In this role, you will take on an important responsibility in supervising guests, supporting daily operations, and assisting with the technical oversight of indoor pools, outdoor pools, and other water-based recreational environments. You will help create a welcoming atmosphere for visitors of all ages while ensuring that safety standards, hygiene regulations, and operational procedures are consistently maintained. This position combines technical awareness, attentiveness, communication skills, and a strong sense of responsibility.
A core part of your work will involve monitoring pool activities and identifying potential hazards before they become serious issues. You must be prepared to respond quickly and calmly in emergencies, provide first aid, and carry out rescue procedures when necessary. In addition, you will support water quality monitoring, help oversee technical systems, and ensure compliance with sanitation and safety requirements. Routine cleaning, inspection, and basic maintenance tasks are also part of the role to keep the entire facility in excellent condition.
Another essential aspect of this position is direct interaction with guests. You will answer questions, explain facility rules and services, assist in resolving conflicts, and contribute to a positive visitor experience through a professional and approachable manner. During school swim sessions, training programs, or family swim hours, your ability to communicate clearly and act with empathy will be especially valuable. Depending on the facility, you may also assist with swim lessons, aqua fitness programs, or special events while supporting the team with organizational tasks.
We are seeking a dependable, physically capable, and team-oriented professional with a strong commitment to safety. You should be able to remain calm under pressure and make sound decisions in fast-moving situations. Technical interest is just as important as enjoying work with people. Ideally, you have completed formal training in pool operations or hold a comparable qualification, along with up-to-date knowledge of rescue procedures, hygiene standards, and facility systems.
We offer a varied and meaningful work environment where you can make a direct contribution to public safety, health, and recreation. You will work with a dedicated team, receive structured onboarding, and have opportunities for professional development. If you are looking for a responsible position that combines technical, operational, and customer service responsibilities, we would be pleased to receive your application.
