WHO WE ARE…

We are MAKRs – Our common goal, our passion, is to create global communities connected through play and social experiences. We believe the world needs more places where coming together, connecting, and having fun are inevitable.
The MAKR Group is comprised of three working brands dedicated to making the world more livable, playful and socially just—Waterplay, a cheeky global splash pad provider, Parkworks, a Western Canadian Park space supplier, and Wekid Mfg., Canada’s most playfully professional steel manufacturing team.
With 10’s of thousands of play and park space installations throughout the world, the MAKR Group have helped provide millions of people, from all walks of life, of all ages, and with diverse abilities, with access to amazing, inviting, playable, enjoyable, “go-backable” recreation places. What makes us jump out of bed every morning is knowing we’re integral to creating these meaningful places, and we need people like you to help us build them.

WHO YOU ARE…

You are somebody who is organized, with excellent time management skills and high attention to detail. You work well within defined regulations, policies, and procedures, and promote accuracy and quality in your work. You have a solid grasp for understanding data analysis and the ability to interpret and communicate results from data.
We need a true team player: someone who will never utter, “That’s not my job.” and instead, wonders, “How can I help make this better?"- constantly seeking solutions, efficiencies, and improvements.
You inject fun into all aspects of your work and invite others to do the same. We’re a different kind of company and we’re looking for a different kind of individual to join our team!
