Job description

The ecology tour runs hand in hand with the zip line course, and the Eco Rangers work side by side with the Sky Rangers, our zip line guides.

- Facilitating guests through our Durango zip line, focusing on guest safety as our first priority at all times
- Engaging guests while providing information about the local natural environment
- Maintaining a clean and professional appearance

- Physically fit to work in a climbing harness all day.

- English speaking, polite, courteous and able to address large groups of guests with a clear and understandable voice.
