Ski rentals - Bründl Sports

Born for ski rentals

Issuing skis, trying on boots, helmet check, poles, insurance, depot and lift ticket - our ski rental department at Bründl Sports offers the complete package. Which is what makes this job particularly full of variety. Our rental team provides customer assistance and is responsible for preparing equipment.

To be quite honest, our rental team is a little bit insane - insanely resilient, that is. After all, when on many a winter day you have 200 guests from around the world standing in the shop at the same time, it all comes down to "keeping your cool", providing guests with correct rental gear and spreading a good vibe.

Your duties in the rental department

Your duties are very similar to sales. With the major difference that all the equipment that goes out the door, will also eventually come back in.

Prepare equipment that has been reserved online
Issue skis, boards and poles
Assist customers in finding the right product category
Adjust bindings
Issue boots and help customers to try them on
Helmet check
Issue lift passes
Operate the cash register
Accept returned equipment
Check depot lockers
... and ensure everyone stays in high spirits

Do I need prior experience?

We would be thrilled if you have previous experience in ski rentals, so that terms like "Z-number" and "flex" don't sound like complete gobbledygook to you. If not, you probably belong to the group of lateral entry employees, who are every bit as welcome with us. After all, every year we are looking for robust support for the busy winter season.

I am a lateral-entry employee and began in the ski rental department on the Kitzsteinhorn in 2007. What began as a seasonal job became year-round employment in 2013 at the Areit Valley station. There, I continue to take care of rentals, though I am mainly involved with our online rental booking platform for all locations. If anyone would ask me what the qualifications for this job are, I would say resilience, ability to handle stress, good German and English skills, patience, enjoyment working with people, along with a certain talent for sales.
