Grounds Staff
Are you tired of the daily stress and pressure working on a golf course or landscape crew? Then this is a great opportunity for you. Join a team of dedicated professionals with maintaining a historic, well-manicured, private property in the Wilmington, NC area.
I have been employed here for the past 7 years. I was previously in the turf industry for nearly 20 years, and this has been the best career move and welcomed change for myself and my family. The stress level is 10 times less, with zero regrets leaving the turf industry behind. It’s still a challenging and fulfilling career, but without the headaches and unrealistic demands from memberships and/or owners. Plus, the benefits, pay, bonuses and work schedule are fantastic!
We are looking for an experienced landscape/grounds or golf course maintenance employee, or an individual that is willing to learn how to maintain this great property. So don’t miss this opportunity to join our team and find out for yourself if this is the career you’ve been searching for.
