Campground Maintenance Technician

Company Overview

We operate a guest-focused campground that offers clean, safe, and welcoming outdoor experiences for families, travelers, and seasonal guests. Our team takes pride in maintaining well-kept facilities, attractive grounds, and reliable utilities so visitors can relax and enjoy their stay.

As part of our maintenance team, you will play a key role in keeping the property looking great, running smoothly, and meeting the expectations of guests who return year after year.

The Opportunity

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working with their hands, being outdoors, and seeing the direct results of their work every day. As a Campground Maintenance Technician, you will own the day-to-day upkeep of our facilities, utilities, and equipment, helping ensure every guest has a safe and enjoyable experience.

You will handle a variety of tasks—from routine maintenance and repairs to seasonal preparations and guest support—making this a great opportunity to build and expand your skills in maintenance, groundskeeping, and facility operations.

What You'll Do

• Maintain and clean common areas including restrooms, showers, laundry rooms, pavilions, and recreational spaces so they are consistently safe, sanitary, and guest-ready.
• Inspect and care for outdoor spaces such as playgrounds, picnic areas, fire pits, and any beach or lakefront areas to keep them functional and attractive.
• Troubleshoot and complete minor electrical, plumbing, carpentry, and general repair tasks across the campground facilities.
• Maintain water lines, sewer hookups, hydrants, and site utilities, including seasonal tasks like winterizing buildings and opening water systems.
• Operate and perform basic upkeep on maintenance equipment such as tractors, mowers, golf carts, skid steers, and chainsaws.

What Success Looks Like

• Within the first season, campground facilities and common areas are consistently clean, stocked, and in good working order, with minimal guest complaints related to maintenance.
• Maintenance requests from guests and staff are handled promptly and professionally, with clear communication and effective follow-through.
• Routine inspections help you spot and address small issues early, reducing downtime and preventing bigger repair problems.
• Seasonal openings and closings of buildings, water systems, and sites are completed on time, safely, and according to established procedures.

What We're Looking For

• Experience in maintenance, groundskeeping, construction, or a related hands-on field, with basic knowledge of plumbing, electrical, carpentry, and mechanical systems.
• Ability to safely operate maintenance equipment and tools, and perform physical work including lifting 50+ lbs and working outdoors in all weather conditions.
• Strong problem-solving skills, reliability, and a guest-friendly attitude when responding to site issues such as breaker resets, leaks, or clogs.
• Comfort working in a fast-paced, guest-facing environment, including availability on weekends, evenings, and holidays during peak season; pool maintenance experience is a plus.
