Responsibilities

• Long-Term Thinking - Care for the resort grounds with an eye toward long-term health and appearance — planting grass, shrubs, and bushes; applying fertilizer to enhance growth; pruning trees and shrubs to keep the landscape thriving for seasons to come.
• Excellence in Execution - Maintain Boyne Mountain's irrigation systems, ensuring lawns, plants, and landscaping are properly watered and healthy. Monitor and perform minor repairs on groundskeeping equipment so nothing sits broken and forgotten.
• Attitude is Everything - You're often one of the first faces a guest sees on property. You take pride in your work and bring a positive, can-do energy to the job every day — whether the sun is shining or the weather has other ideas.
• Cut lawns using hand, power, and riding mowers; trim and edge around walks, flower beds, and walls.
• Use hand tools and landscaping equipment to maintain and improve the appearance of resort grounds.
• Remove litter, rake debris, pull weeds, and backpack-blow walkways to keep all areas clean and guest-ready.
• Identify and safely remove tree limbs that pose a safety hazard.
• Other duties as assigned by the Grounds Supervisor and Superintendent.

Qualifications

• You are at least 18 years old.
• You genuinely enjoy working outdoors and don't mind putting in the work whatever the weather brings.
• You're available to work evenings, weekends, and holidays
• You hold a valid driver's license.
• You're comfortable with a physically demanding job, including occasional lifting of 50+ pounds.
• You take pride in the details — a clean edge, a healthy shrub, a walkway that looks like nobody even had to think about it.
