The Glencoe Golf & Country Club offers an abundance of golf opportunities and amenities. Nestled along the Elbow River and just minutes outside of Calgary, members are welcomed with pristine views and immersed in nature while enjoying an exceptional round of golf with family and friends.

If you are genuinely passionate about our vision to be our members’ second home, providing excellence in all that we do, have a proven track record for creating exceptional experiences through your interactions and champion our values of respect, wellness, integrity, relationships, caring and innovation we want to hear from you.

We are seeking a full-time Equipment Technician to care for a large fleet of equipment ranging from simple backpack blowers, reel and rotary cutting equipment, all the way through excavators and large construction equipment. The Equipment Technician is responsible for learning the operation of new equipment, repair and maintenance, planning day-to-day tasks and assisting in future planning for the property’s equipment fleet under the Equipment Manager & Golf Course Superintendent.

Please note that prior experience with golf-specific machinery is not required. Many of the mechanical systems and components are common across equipment types and will likely be familiar to candidates with equipment technician experience. We encourage qualified applicants to apply, even if their background is not specific to golf course equipment.

If you are looking for a new challenge, a change of pace, and enjoy being on the tools working across a wide variety of equipment, we would love to hear from you!

• Operate and maintain various equipment, such as backpack blowers, reel and rotary cutting equipment, excavators, and large construction equipment
• Assist the Equipment Manager with planning for the property’s equipment needs, including identifying requirements, supporting recommendations, and helping maintain equipment
• Ensure the delivery of well-maintained equipment to result in high level playing conditions that are consistent with member expectations and evolving trends
• Effectively communicate verbally and in writing with seasonal staff who may have limited familiarity with machinery, providing clear instruction on the safe operation, basic maintenance, and proper care of equipment
• Assist in training employees on the proper use of safety equipment including safety glasses, ear protection, and face shields
• Value the importance of being a team player who sets a positive example for seasonal staff and contributes to a respectful, supportive working environment where all team members can excel and enjoy their work
• Implement OH&S standards as they pertain to the Turfcare operation

Qualifications

• Education and/or experience with troubleshooting electrical and/or hydraulic systems
• Experience in small engines and diesel engines, with a small engine or equivalent certification considered an asset, but not required
• Experience with the operation and maintenance of construction equipment
• A positive, team-focused attitude with a willingness to learn new skills and support seasonal staff through clear, effective training
• Adaptability to a dynamic work environment and ability to maintain high standards of work in a fast-paced environment, while demonstrating company values
• Physical ability to lift up to 50lbs
• Ability to reliably work early mornings, with a valid driver’s license and access to reliable transportation, as public transportation is not available to our location

Why choose us

• An inclusive and diverse working environment highlighted by creativity and collaboration, featuring top industry leaders
• Numerous opportunities for personal and professional growth including training and development
• Delicious, fulsome employee meals prepared daily
• Employee referral program that rewards the additional talent you bring
• Numerous employee recognition programs to reward you for your incredible efforts
