Assistant-in-Training
Framingham Country Club is an Orrin Smith/William Mitchell designed 18 hole private country club located outside of the metro Boston area. In April 2022 we lost both our equipment and chemical storage building in a fire. Although this loss has significantly impacted our operation the last two years it has allowed us to complete a $1.5 million upgrade our equipment fleet and we are now in the final stages of building a new $1.5 million maintenance compound including a 5,000 sq. foot storage building and dedicated chemical and fertilizer storage buildings. The club is also hosting the 2024 Massachusetts Amateur Championship this July, rebuilding the first green in September, installing XGD internal drainage in 4 greens this October, and just this past month finished a complete renovation of our 16th tee complex.
The club developed a Master Plan with Hepner Golf Design in 2010, completed a bunker renovation project in 2013, and is now planning an in-house renovation of bunker surrounds with the installation of new bunker sand over the next few years. The club has designed a new irrigation system (to be installed in 2026/2027), is continuing our aggressive tree pruning and removal program along with ongoing cart path renovations. We are expecting to continue our tee complex renovations over the next few seasons. In the long term the club is beginning the process of engineering new pond spillways and the permitting process for pond dredging of our on-course and irrigation ponds.
We have a lot going on at the club however this is not a seven day a week job. We believe in a work environment that fosters a good work/life balance and are building our staff to make that happen. The successful candidate will learn how to build a maintenance program, develop a budget and the budget approval process, how to successfully manage a small team, and any other tasks they request. You will be trained to be an Assistant Superintendent because even though we believe in promoting from within we also recognize people sometimes leave for better opportunities.
For the right individual this could be a great opportunity for personal and professional growth.
