As an Assistant Mechanic, you’ll work alongside our agronomy team’s mechanics, learning hands‑on how to keep mowers, reels, and utility vehicles running so our grounds crew can deliver the pristine playing conditions our guests come for.

About Bandon Dunes Golf Resort:

Bandon Dunes is a world‑class golf resort located on the Oregon Coast near the charming community of Bandon. Guests come to experience golf as it was meant to be at Bandon Dunes’ six distinct golf courses. That includes five 18‑hole courses, which all rank among the top 16 public courses in the United States, according to Golf Digest. The resort also has an award‑winning par‑3 course, Bandon Preserve, and the new Shorty's. The two short courses are 'Courses with a Mission,' with all net proceeds funding the Bandon Dunes Charitable Foundation. The Foundation supports communities along the South Coast of Oregon.

Beyond premier golf, guests delight in various dining options at Bandon Dunes’ collection of restaurants. Whether you're looking to enjoy locally sourced, Pacific‑Northwest cuisine accompanied by an award‑winning wine list or prefer kicking back in a Scottish‑style setting with traditional pub fare and local microbrews, there is something for everyone.

Working at Bandon Dunes is a dream for golf fans, outdoor enthusiasts, and hospitality professionals alike. The Bandon Dunes team works together to create trips of a lifetime for our guests. We are passionate stewards of our resort, community, and environment. As an endlessly curious group, we ask questions, share ideas, and always look for a better way. With a hard‑working attitude, we help guide our guests through their pure golf experience, immersed in Oregon’s natural beauty and away from the demands of daily life.

What You’ll Do:

• Support Equipment Repairs: Help inspect golf course equipment for operating issues and assist with repairs under the guidance of the Mechanic and Equipment Manager.
• Handle Routine Maintenance: Service, lubricate, and adjust equipment to keep it running smoothly, building your hands‑on maintenance skills with every job.
• Assist with Reels and Blades: Help replace reels, set cutting heights, and support blade grinding and reel rebuilding work.
• Pitch in on Tire Service: Assist with tire changes and repairs as needed.
• Keep the Shop Running Smoothly: Maintain a clean, organized shop, track parts and supplies, and keep accurate service records.
• Grow Your Trade Skills: Learn welding, fabrication, and diagnostic techniques from experienced mechanics as you take on more responsibility over time.

What Makes You a Great Fit:

• Mechanical Aptitude: Some experience with mechanical, automotive, or small‑engine repair — or a strong interest in learning the trade.
• Hands‑On Skills: Comfortable working with hand and power tools, with the grip and dexterity for repair work.
• Team Player: Good communication skills and a willingness to take direction, ask questions, and learn from experienced mechanics.
• Positive, Reliable Attitude: A professional manner and strong work ethic, even when the job gets a little greasy.
• Flexibility: Willingness to work a variety of shifts, including weekends and holidays, as needed.

A Few Things to Know:

• Work Environment: You’ll be in a working shop and outdoor setting — with exposure to weather, fuels, solvents, and loud equipment — so following safety procedures is essential.
• Schedule: Hours may include days and evenings, weekdays and weekends, based on business needs.
• Driving: A valid driver’s license is required.
• Screening: Candidates must pass a pre‑employment drug screening.
