Grounds Maintenance Team Member
About the role
At Boyne Mountain Resort, first impressions are everything — and our grounds team makes sure every guest's arrival, every walk between venues, and every view from the slopes is something worth remembering. We're looking for a team-oriented, hard-working team member to help us keep Boyne Mountain looking its absolute best, season after season. This is a physical, hands-on, outdoors-every-day kind of role. If you're someone who finds satisfaction in a clean walkway or a flower bed that just looks right, we'd love to have you on the team.
Everything we do at Boyne Mountain is guided by our core values, L.E.A.D.S.: Long Term Thinking, Excellence in Execution, Attitude is Everything, and Serve First. You will bring these values to each shift and to all you do at the Mountain.
Responsibilities
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
