Working At WSC
Job Opportunities
Join Our Team!
At Wisconsin Skydiving Center, the notion of “family” extends far and beyond the fact that we’re family owned and operated. The dropzone feels like a family because we are all, as individuals and as a collective, passionate about skydiving, committed to furthering the sport, and stoked that we get to do it together.
Do you love this sport? Do you prioritize safety and customer service, consider yourself community-minded, and are you up for a whole lot of fun? Then you sound like a great fit for Team WSC!
Our Greatest Asset
Our people and our culture are our greatest asset.
We live by our mission and values, and honor our commitments to our staff and our guests. We want everyone we engage to leave WSC better than they were on arrival. And we ask that everybody leaves our DZ better than they found it.
We are not interested in being the biggest, but we absolutely strive to be the BEST.
The Right Fit
At Wisconsin Skydiving Center, we operate as a customer service company that happens to offer A+ skydiving.
We aim to fill open positions with people who possess the right character traits more so than with those who check every box on our job description. You can teach skill, not attitude.
We are looking for people who fit in with and appreciate our culture:
1. Passion & Enthusiasm.
This is the intersection where we all come together. If we share love for the sport, we can figure out everything else with ease.
2. Humility.
We share constant feedback with another, always delivered with appreciation and respect. We look for a willingness to learn and grow. Sky-Gods need not apply.
3. Responsibility & Reliability.
We’re engaged in an extreme, technical, and dangerous sport. It’s imperative that we are able to trust and count on each other. We care, deeply.
4. Honesty & Respect.
Regardless of who you are (or think you are), you’re treated the same. After hours, when we’re all hanging out, you can’t tell the owners from the staff.
5. Empathy.
In the DZ hierarchy, tandem students and spectators are on the lowest rung of the ladder, which is why they are deserving of the most kindness and compassion.
6. Integrity.
We honor our commitments and we expect the same from our staff and sport jumpers. Stand up for the truth and you will never stand alone.
7. Collaborative Spirit.
We are not a churn and burn DZ. If money is your only criteria, WSC is not the right place for you. We take time to foster empowerment, confidence, and competence.
If our hiring criteria resonates with you and you want to be surrounded by like-minded people, let’s go! You don’t have to be perfect, of course, but if your intentions are honorable, we’ll provide all the support you need.
We Have A Job For You!
