Flagger Position at LAZ Parking, Newark, NJ

LAZ Parking, one of the largest and fastest-growing parking companies in the country, is hiring a Flagger for its Newark, NJ operations. With hundreds of thousands of parking spaces managed nationwide, LAZ combines industry expertise with a people-first culture — parking is our industry, but people are our passion.

This full-time role pays USD 16 per hour and focuses on directing traffic, maintaining smooth vehicle flow, and delivering friendly customer service in high-volume parking environments. The position was posted on October 3, 2026, and applications will be accepted through December 3, 2026.

As a Flagger, you serve as the face of the parking operation. You keep vehicles moving safely while creating a welcoming atmosphere for parkers. The role blends physical stamina with interpersonal communication and may require minimal customer interaction. Attention to detail and the ability to handle a high volume of cars are preferred.

• Greet customers and build rapport with parkers in your assigned area
• Direct traffic and assist customers navigating lots and garages
• Maintain a friendly, can-do attitude and willingness to help at all times
• Work independently with or without supervision
• Handle other related duties as assigned

• High school diploma or GED required

• Strong customer service background

• Communication: Professional, effective English communication — speaking, reading, and comprehension
• Interpersonal abilities: Team-building mindset, open to feedback and differing viewpoints
• Work ethic: Sense of urgency, timeliness, and drive for continuous improvement

• Comfortable working outdoors in heat, wind, snow, and rain
• Ability to lift, push, and pull at least 10 pounds
• Capacity to stand, walk, and run for extended periods
• Frequent bending, stooping, and squatting throughout shifts
• Ability to hold a flag and sign with both hands simultaneously

Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with qualified disabilities to perform the essential functions of this role.

LAZ Parking invests in its people through a comprehensive benefits package. The following programs are available to employees free of charge, regardless of benefit enrollment status:

• Growth opportunities within a rapidly expanding company
• Paid training and free company uniforms
• Health coaching with one-on-one support
• Employee Assistance Program (EAP) with 24/7 confidential counseling for employees and eligible household members
• Smoking cessation program

• 401(k) with employer match
• Medical, dental, and vision — three plan options

To stand out in the parking management industry, consider these targeted strategies:

• Highlight outdoor endurance: Emphasize any previous experience in physically demanding, weather-exposed roles such as construction, logistics, or event staffing. Flaggers spend entire shifts outdoors, so demonstrating comfort with the elements matters.
• Showcase traffic management familiarity: If you have held roles near roadways — warehouse yards, toll booths, school crossing guard positions, or event parking — mention these explicitly. Even informal experience directing vehicles at large gatherings is relevant.
• Reference safety awareness: LAZ values candidates who understand situational awareness. Reference any training in OSHA standards, traffic safety protocols, or workplace hazard recognition.
• Demonstrate bilingual advantage: While English proficiency is required, additional language skills are highly valued in Newark's diverse community. Note any languages you speak on your application.
• Leverage relevant platforms: Beyond Linked In, similar flagging and parking attendant roles appear on Indeed, Zip Recruiter, and industry-specific boards like the National Parking Association job portal. Monitoring these helps you benchmark salary and requirements.

Cars spend only 5% of their time driving — the other 95%? Parked. That statistic underscores why parking management is a stable, growing sector. LAZ Parking stands out through its people-first culture, commitment to employee development, and equal opportunity practices.
