About the Role

As a Grounds and Maintenance Associate at SSC, you are responsible for performing routine building, amenity, infrastructure, and grounds maintenance tasks, general cleaning, and other tasks as determined by the General Manager (GM) and/or assigned Grounds and Maintenance Manager (GMM). The main function of this role is to ensure that all facilities run smoothly and safely throughout the camping season and that all grounds present impeccably. The person who fills this role will work closely with the GM, maintenance, grounds, front desk, and housekeeping crew, and other team members. This position, like all at SSC, is customer‑facing, and maintains a pleasant, welcoming, hospitable attitude when onsite serving guests. This role offers the opportunity to be part of a dynamic team and contribute to the success of the campground.

Spacious Skies benefits from operating as a collective. While this position is for one specific location, opportunities may arise to participate in efforts and activities to help grow the brand and operations so we can all continue our leading position competing with industry giants! In some cases, this may include the opportunity for travel to work at a sister campground.
