Job description

Spend your summer gaining new experiences at a five-star campsite in the Dordogne. During your Maintenance & Grounds internship at RCN le Moulin de la Pique, you'll work outdoors, learn something new every day and become part of a friendly international team.

What will you be doing?

One morning, you might start by checking the swimming pool water and helping maintain the aquapark. Later, you'll head out with a colleague to fix a technical issue in one of our holiday accommodations. Along the way, you'll chat with guests and help keep the campsite looking its best.

There's plenty to do outdoors too. You'll help with pruning, mowing, looking after trees and plants, and maintaining the beautiful green surroundings. You'll learn how to solve technical problems, use different tools and discover what it takes to keep a holiday park running smoothly.

You'll never be on your own. There's always a colleague ready to help, you'll receive plenty of guidance and you'll have the chance to share what you'd like to learn. More interested in maintenance or landscaping? We'll explore how to tailor your internship to your interests.

Who are we?

RCN le Moulin de la Pique is a five-star campsite on a historic estate in the Dordogne, the land of a thousand and one castles, surrounded by rolling green valleys and magnolias. The showpiece is Aquapark la Pique, a water park with four swimming pools and three spectacular water slides. Park management speaks Dutch.

The atmosphere on the park is warm and informal. You really do it together, pitch in across teams when needed, and there is always something fun going on. The teams are diverse: you work with Dutch and international colleagues. A real holiday atmosphere, even behind the scenes.

What We're Looking For

• You're at least 18 years old.
• You're studying maintenance, engineering, landscaping, horticulture or a related subject.
• You speak Dutch and English. French is a plus.
• You're looking for an internship during or around the summer holidays.
• You enjoy hands-on work and are eager to learn new skills.

What will you learn?

During your internship, you'll discover just how varied maintenance and grounds work at a holiday park can be. You'll learn how to carry out maintenance tasks and solve technical problems, but also how to work independently, set priorities and work with your colleagues to keep everything running smoothly.

You'll have plenty of opportunities to develop new skills, ask questions and gradually take on more responsibility. You'll also gain experience working in an international team and interacting with guests. All valuable practical experience that will help you in your studies and future career.

What We Offer You

• An internship allowance of € 630 per month if your internship lasts longer than two months. An allowance for shorter internships may also be possible.
• An internship in the heart of the French holiday atmosphere, with plenty of outdoor work and something different every day.
• Great guidance and support from experienced colleagues who are happy to share their knowledge.
• Room to discover your interests, with opportunities to focus more on maintenance or landscaping.
• The possibility to stay at the campsite, together with other colleagues and interns.
• A friendly international team where you'll work with Dutch and international colleagues. The campsite management speaks Dutch.
• Plenty of opportunities to develop your skills. RCN is an officially recognised training company and a great place to gain practical experience.
• Staff discounts on RCN holidays and at the campsite's restaurants and bars.
• Fun social activities, including drinks, barbecues and team outings.
• Opportunities for the future. If it's a good match, we'd be happy to discuss a part-time job or employment contract at RCN.
• Flexible internship arrangements. Where possible, we'll adapt the start date, duration and working hours to your study requirements.
