Job Title: General Laborer (Utility Team Member)
Department: Operations
Reports To: Facilities Supervisor

Position Overview:
At Lakeside, our work changes with the seasons—and we need team members who can adapt. The General Laborer (Utility Team Member) plays a vital role in ensuring the smooth operation of our campus by stepping in wherever needed. From leaf collection in the fall and planting in the spring to ad hoc maintenance and event setup year-round, this role is all about flexibility, teamwork, and readiness to jump in when priorities shift.

You’ll be part of a core team that guarantees our historic grounds, guest experience, and seasonal programs run seamlessly, even when the unexpected arises. If you’re dependable, hands-on, and ready for something different each day, we want to meet you.

Key Responsibilities:

• Support seasonal operations including leaf clearing (fall), snow response (winter), planting and mulching (spring), and general landscaping (summer)

• Perform light construction, repair, painting, and quick-turn maintenance projects across campus buildings and infrastructure

• Assist with setup and teardown for year-round programs and special events, often outside of standard working hours

• Operate small tools and equipment (e.g., mowers, trimmers, drills, power washers) safely and efficiently

• Respond to real-time operational needs, including urgent maintenance requests or last-minute program support

• Flex between facilities, grounds, logistics, and event functions based on organizational needs

• Promote and adhere to all safety policies, reporting hazards or malfunctions immediately

Requirements:

• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs and work outdoors in all weather conditions

• Willingness to work flexible shifts, including weekends, early mornings, or evenings as required

• Dependable, solutions-oriented, and comfortable working independently or as part of a rotating team

• Basic knowledge of tools, machinery, or grounds equipment is a plus—but we’re willing to train

Position Type & Schedule:

• Full-time, seasonal, or flexible staffing arrangements available

• Must be able to work varying shifts, including nontraditional hours based on programming and event needs

Why This Role Matters:
This position is essential to keeping Lakeside running—not just day-to-day, but season-to-season. As a Utility Team Member, you’re not just doing a job—you’re maintaining the entire Lakeside experience. Your flexibility, reliability, and dedication to the work will directly impact how guests, homeowners, and team members experience our community.
