After a quick check-in with the team, you'll move between holes and landscape zones, noting what needs attention now versus what can be scheduled for later in the week. Midday often includes documenting observations, adjusting sequencing as conditions change, and confirming equipment is ready for the next shift of work. The typical schedule is Monday-Friday, 5:30 a.m.-2:00 p.m., with flexibility for evenings, weekends, and holidays when course needs require it.

Benefits That Matter
