Summer Hiring We have a seasonal hiring program for the summer.

Seasonal hires are limited positions for no more than six months and any MCAS Iwakuni community member 14 years or older can apply.

What kind of jobs are available to seasonal hires? Most of the positions are directly customer service facing: stocking at the MCX, paintball, but there are also positions in more administrative positions such as a file clerk.

What if I want to work beyond the six month mark? Community members 14 and above can apply for any flexible positions. Flexible positions are flexible to the business needs but take into account the school year, extracurricular activities, and familial obligations.
