Job description

Live Your American Summer on the Famous Wildwood Boardwalk

Imagine clocking in with the smell of funnel cakes in the air, the Atlantic Ocean glittering just steps away, and roller coasters roaring above your head. That's an average day at Morey's Piers, one of the most iconic amusement and waterpark destinations on the East Coast of the USA. If you're a university student looking for the ultimate Work & Travel USA experience, this is your ticket to a summer you'll be talking about for years.

About the Position

As a member of the Food & Beverage team, you'll be at the heart of the boardwalk action, serving hungry guests who've just stepped off a thrill ride or spent the day at the beach. This is a fast-paced, people-focused role that will sharpen your English, your teamwork and your confidence.

Your Day-to-Day Duties

• Greeting guests with a smile and taking food and drink orders at counters and kiosks
• Preparing classic American boardwalk favourites – pizza, burgers, fries, funnel cakes, ice cream and refreshing drinks
• Operating a cash register and handling card payments accurately
• Keeping food preparation areas, counters and dining spaces clean and compliant with US food safety standards
• Restocking supplies, ingredients and beverages throughout your shift
• Working closely with your team to keep service quick, friendly and efficient during busy summer rushes

Why Wildwood, New Jersey?

Wildwood is a legendary American beach town: over 8 kilometres of free, wide sandy beaches, a two-mile boardwalk packed with arcades, rides, music and food stands, and a lively international community of students from all over the world every summer. Your days off can mean beach volleyball, sunsets over the bay, or weekend trips to Philadelphia (approx. 2 hours), Atlantic City (approx. 1 hour), New York City or Washington, D.C.

Benefits & Compensation

• $15.25 per hour – a competitive rate for a seasonal boardwalk position
• 35 guaranteed hours per week, with the possibility of extra hours during peak season
• Season runs from summer into the fall, giving you a longer earning period than many programs
• Employee perks at Morey's Piers amusement rides and waterparks
• Training provided – no previous experience required
• An international team, employee events and lifelong friendships
• Real US hospitality experience to add to your CV

What We're Looking For

• University students aged 18–25 enrolled in a Work & Travel USA program
• Conversational English and a friendly, guest-focused attitude
• Ability to stand for long periods and work in a fast-paced outdoor environment
• Flexibility to work evenings, weekends and holidays – that's when the boardwalk comes alive
• A positive, reliable team player who wants to make the most of an American summer
