Job Description

Who we are: We’re the West Michigan Whitecaps, Class High-A Minor League affiliate of the Detroit Tigers. The Whitecaps are in the FUN business and our mission is to provide affordable family entertainment that strengthens the West Michigan community. We create memorable experiences by offering a fun, friendly and inclusive environment.

Why we want you: You’re a College or University Junior or Senior, within 3 semesters of graduating. You need an internship for academic credit, and you’re pursuing a degree in Turf or Sports Management. You work hard and play nice and appreciate a good joke.

What you’ll do: You’ll learn everything about baseball field maintenance of The West Michigan Whitecaps and LMCU Ballpark. You will learn about our turf, infield skin, and warning track maintenance. You'll learn about planning non-baseball events like weddings, concerts, and office parties. You'll also learn about weather forecasting, irrigation maintenance, and fertilizing. You’ll gain knowledge in most other departments while working under the mentorship of other departmental managers. You’ll also tarp the field a few times and have a lot of fun doing it.

Why you want to work here: The Whitecaps internship program is designed to provide an extensive hands-on career development training and job shadow program for those navigating the selection of appropriate careers. We provide internship positions that are meaningful and compatible with education and aspirations. We work very hard, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously; we realize how important things like office darts and puppy visits and staff happy hours are. Plus, you also get free shared housing, a monthly stipend, free baseball tickets & food (your friends will love you!), a free health club membership, and opportunities to get discounted or free tickets to various shows and events in West Michigan. We’re also great people to work with. We were just awarded the honor of being one of both West Michigan’s and the Nation's Best & Brightest Employers to work for, for the second year in a row.

What you need: You need solid availability no later than March 31st through September – you’ll be working full-time, including evenings, weekends, and holidays but time and date can be flexible on school schedule. Non-event days are generally M-F 9:00 a.m. to 5 p.m. Event days, the day generally begins at 8:30 a.m. and ends after the event. You need a valid driver’s license and a great attitude.

Let’s do this: If you’re ready to apply, we look forward to getting to know you. Submit your resume and drop us a cover letter letting us know why you’d be a good fit. We’ll be in touch!
