SPORTS FIELD SOLUTIONS IS SEEKING AN: Assistant Turf Manager To maintain immaculate sports fields at Baylor University. WHO YOU ARE You love sports. You spent your childhood summers on baseball fields, your fall Friday nights under stadium lights, and your winters on hard courts. You love a natural grass playing surface.  Whereas your friends are in awe when they look at a professional baseball field, you are at home. You know the difference between a ¾” height of cut and a ½”, and you understand just how hard it is to get those perfect infield edges at Globe Life Park. You are meticulous. Others see perfection when they look at your fields, but all you see is the almost-imperceptible divot in center field from the previous night’s diving catch. You love being part of a team. Could you do it alone? Sure. Do you prefer the camaraderie of a team working to build a premium brand? Absolutely.  WHO WE ARE We love sports fields. How much?  As much as Texas loves its high school football.  That's a lot.  We know that the difference between feeling like a professional athlete and a high school walk-on is often the quality of the playing surface.
