About the Role:
As Maintenance Technician, you will be responsible for assisting with the upkeep of our 325-acre facility, including grounds, buildings, and swimming pools. Tasks may include mowing, painting, equipment repair, carpentry work, and utilizing various tools such as leaf blowers, weed whackers, and skid steers. A regular cycle of work exists based on the season, but tasks are always available regardless of the time of year.
Caretaker Responsibilities:
In addition to maintenance duties, you will serve as the off-hours custodian of the entire campground property. This includes daily rounds to check for signs of trespassers, vandalism, and ensuring doors and gates are locked.

This role requires in-person work, with a standard 35-hour workweek on weekdays, usually starting at 7:00am. As Caretaker, you will regularly work about an hour each evening and two hours on weekends, one in the morning and one in the evening. On-call responsibilities will also apply to respond to emergencies. During the off-season, occasional weekend events may occur, while extended days and weekend work are expected during the busiest periods, typically before the start of camp.
Requirements:
We seek candidates with at least 2 years of experience as a caretaker, maintenance technician, or similar capacity. Relevant experience should include working hands-on with a team to maintain a safe work environment, adhering to OSHA regulations. A valid driver's license is also required.
