Job description

Overview

Palm Aire isn’t your average workplace and we’re not looking for average either. We are a warm, welcoming country club that takes pride in keeping our grounds as polished as our member experience. When you join our team, you’re not just another name on a schedule, you’re part of something special.

We don’t hire for a season, we hire for a reason: we invest in people who want to stick around, grow with us and be proud of where they work. We’re not interested in being a “stepping stone.” We’re building a place where great people come, stay and thrive. If you’re tired of hopping job to job for a few cents more, come grow with us and be part of something you can be proud of. If you're ready to roll up your sleeves and make a visible impact, we’d love to hear from you. Join a place where your work truly stands out and where the grass truly is greener on your side.

The Role:

We’re on the lookout for dedicated Groundskeepers who are ready to get their hands dirty (in the best way) and help maintain the beauty and serenity of our grounds year-round. If you love being outdoors, find satisfaction in a freshly cut lawn, a well-trimmed hedge and a sunrise over manicured greens then this gig is for you.

Responsibilities

• Maintaining the landscaping and grounds of our two championship golf courses - mowing, trimming, raking, digging, cutting, blowing, lifting and hauling.
• Operating maintenance equipment such as mowers, blowers, trimmers and utility vehicles.
• Keeping our golf courses and outdoor areas neat, tidy and top-notch.
• Maintaining cleanliness of walkways, common areas and parking lots.
• Assisting with seasonal planting and irrigation system upkeep.
• Identifying and reporting any grounds-related repair needs or hazards.
• Working with an awesome crew who values humor, hustle and helping each other.
• Learning and growing, we’ll train the right person if you bring the right attitude.

Qualifications

• You’re reliable and take pride in doing a great job.
• You’ve got a valid driver’s license.
• You don’t mind getting up early (the best views happen before 9 a.m.).
• Comfort using hand tools and power equipment.
• Ability to work outdoors in all weather conditions.
• A keen eye for detail and appreciation for a tidy landscape.
• Must be reliable, punctual and able to work independently or with a team.
• You enjoy working outdoors, even when Florida’s doing its Florida thing- it gets hot out there!

What You Get

• We take care of our team because happy employees make for a happy club. Here’s what we offer:
• Competitive Pay
• 100% Employer-Paid Health, Dental, and Vision Insurance
• Paid Holidays, Accrued PTO, and Front-Loaded Sick Time at Hire
• Fully Vested 401(k) with 4% Employer Match
• Daily Complimentary Meal
• Company-Paid Life and AD&D Insurance (up to $200K)
• Supplemental Insurance Options: Voluntary Life/AD&D, Short-Term Disability, Accident, Hospital, Critical Care
• Access to Club Amenities: Golf, Tennis, Pickleball, Padel, Gym, and Pool
