For those looking for a part-time job, Mercedes-Benz Stadium has an opportunity for you.

The $1.5 billion downtown facility is looking for several hundred part-time workers to staff the behemoth retractable roof stadium, including housekeeping, guest services and parking staff. 

The stadium’s officials will host “draft days” beginning this Friday through next Wednesday at the Georgia World Congress Center in downtown Atlanta.

Mercedes-Benz Stadium will employ an overall staff of about 4,000 and is trying to get most workers in place for its Aug. 26 opening. The stadium's officials declined to say the exact number of jobs available in this round of the "draft."

More specifics on the stadium's hiring plans are available to myajc.com subscribers here.

The three-pointed star and script of “Mercedes-Benz Stadium” glowed for the first time on Thursday morning in an inaugural lighting ceremony.
