Aramark Destinations South Lake Powell

Wake Up to Lake Powell — Your Summer Office is a Marina in the Arizona Desert

Imagine clocking in as the sun rises over towering red sandstone cliffs, the water of Lake Powell glowing orange and gold, and a fleet of houseboats and speedboats waiting at the dock. That’s an ordinary morning for the Cleaning Service Worker – Boat Rentals (Early Shift) team at Aramark Destinations South Lake Powell in Page, Arizona.

This is one of the most iconic Work & Travel USA destinations in the American Southwest — a place where 3,000 km of shoreline, hidden slot canyons and the legendary Antelope Canyon are literally your neighbours. If you want a summer that looks like a travel documentary, this is it.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Removing trash and helping with laundry and towel service
• Reporting any damage or maintenance issues to your supervisor
