Host OR Willamette Detroit

Our hosts are a guest's first point of contact when they arrive at a facility. They greet the public, assist them with questions, finding a site, or providing guidance about the forest and local area. A Host's goal is to provide customer service during a guest's use of a facility. Prior to a guest's arrival, the Host prepares the facility, sites, and amenities for the clean, operable, and safe use. This entails cleaning, landscaping, inspection, and maintenance of the grounds, sites, restrooms, amenities, and additional facilities. During a guest's visit, a Host continues cleaning, landscaping, inspection, and maintenance and additionally collects fees, fulfills reservations, upholds rules, and sells approved items. When a guest leaves, the Host promptly attends to the site and makes it ready for the next guest. Additional duties and projects are assigned by managers.
