Job description

About Mammoth Fieldhouse

Mammoth Fieldhouse is where Southern Illinois comes to get off the bench. Pure Putt. Flight Deck. Pickleball. Battle Bats. A scratch kitchen and a full bar that would draw a crowd on their own. Open play, leagues, tournaments, and private events, all night, every night.

Three rules run our buildings: No Sidelines, No Spectators. Elite Isn't Exclusive. Competition Is Community. Everyone plays, everyone belongs, and a good time beats a good score. We do not shout. We cheer. There is a big difference, and everybody who works here learns it fast.

About the Role

The bar only runs as fast as its barback.

You keep three bars across two buildings stocked, clean, and ready, so the bartenders never have to stop pouring. When it gets loud, you are the reason nothing runs out.

This is the fastest path to a bartending seat in the building. Learn the bar from the inside and we will teach you the rest.

What You'll Own

Stock

• Keep every bar stocked: ice, glassware, beer, liquor, wine, mixers, and garnish.
• Change kegs and run product from storage to all three bars, including the Pickleball Building.
• Rotate product and keep storage organized and counted.

Clean

• Clear, wash, and return glassware all shift.
• Keep bar tops, wells, floors behind the bar, and trash under control.
• Close each bar to standard, sanitized and logged.

Support

• Read the rush before it hits and get there first.
• Learn specs, the POS, and the bar menu on the job.

Your First Year

• First 30 Days: You are certified as a barback and can support any bar in the building on a Saturday.
• First Year: You are on the path to bartender, with the training to get there.

What You Bring

• Hustle. You move fast and you see what needs doing.
• Strength and stamina for a full shift of lifting and stocking.
• A team first attitude.
• Availability for nights, weekends, and holidays.

Certifications

Required

• 21 years of age or older, with a current Illinois BASSET certification.
• Food handler training through an ANSI accredited program, completed within 30 days of hire. Illinois requires it. Valid three years.

A plus if you already have it

• CPR and AED certification through the American Heart Association or American Red Cross.

Preferred

• Barback, bar, or restaurant experience.
• Bilingual in English and Spanish.

Working Conditions

• Extended periods of standing, walking, and moving throughout the venue for a full shift.
• Must be able to lift up to 50 pounds.
• Moving kegs with a hand truck and carrying stock between floors and buildings.
• Loud, high-energy environment with variable lighting.
• Nights, weekends, and holidays are our busiest shifts. Availability for them is required.

What We Offer

• $15.00 per hour.
• Accrued paid time off. Every hour you work earns time toward it, and you can use it for any reason. You do not have to tell us why.
• Christmas Club. A deferred payroll program. If you choose to participate, $15.00 comes out of each weekly check and is combined with a $5.00 contribution from ownership. Funds are disbursed only on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving.
• Paid training. Every teammate starts with in-person training, on the clock, before working a solo shift.
• A real path up. We fill trainer, shift lead, and manager roles from inside the building first.
• A part-time schedule built around two shifts: morning to mid, and mid to close.

Mammoth Fieldhouse Marion is an equal opportunity employer. We hire on merit, character, and the ability to make people feel like they belong here. Elite isn't exclusive. Everyone plays.
