English section of this bilingual listing.

Ice Castles is a spectacular winter attraction that brings fairy tales to life. With locations across North America, each attraction is handcrafted from hundreds of thousands of icicles, individually placed by professional ice artists. Visitors discover breathtaking LED-lit sculptures, ice thrones, ice-carved tunnels, slides, and fountains.

We are looking for an Assistant Event Manager to oversee visitor-facing operations at our Île Sainte-Hélène location. In this role, you will help ensure that our team delivers a safe, magical, and memorable experience for every visitor.

As a member of the local management team, you will lead the event staff, including team leads, and oversee recruitment, training, scheduling, and day-to-day supervision. You will help build a team of enthusiastic people who share our excitement for the Ice Castles experience.

  • Maintain clear and timely communication with other Ice Castles team members throughout all phases of the event.

  • Build and maintain strong relationships with suppliers and local community partners.

Qualifications and requirements

  • Ability to work independently with support from a remote corporate team.
  • Ability to build and maintain relationships with local community partners and stakeholders.

  • Ability to promptly identify and report risks to visitor or employee safety and follow the company’s emergency procedures.
  • Ability to perform duties while standing or sitting and to lift or move loads of up to 4.5 kg (10 lb), as required by the essential duties of the role and using the handling equipment or assistance provided.
  • A workplace first aid certificate recognized by the CNESST is an asset.

Employment conditions

  • Seasonal position with variable hours, from November 15, 2026, to April 3, 2027. No minimum weekly hours are guaranteed. Scheduled hours will depend on weather, visitor attendance, and operating conditions.
  • Evening and weekend availability is required.
