Kayak Share - Field Service Technician - Rock Falls, IL

Rent.Fun is creating the future of outdoor recreation.

Who doesn’t love the feeling of launching a kayak on a lake at sunset?

But purchasing your own equipment gets expensive. Lugging it to the park in your car is a pain.

Rent.Fun’s self-service rental lockers make outdoor recreational equipment available at the touch of a button, wherever and whenever you want to use it.

Scan a QR code. Unlock and rent a kayak at the water’s edge.

In Spring 2022, after successful pilots in Florida and Ohio, we’re launching our self-service kayak rental lockers (think kayak vending machines, or "kayak share") at premier waterfront parks across the US and Canada. We partner with state and local park systems to make kayaks (and other fun stuff) more accessible to everyone.

We are currently seeking a talented Field Service Technician in 2400 First Avenue, Rock Falls, IL, 61071.
