Equipment/Shop Manager
The Ozaukee Country Club is looking to hire an Equipment Manager to join our Grounds Maintenance Team. Although prior experience in the golf industry is preferred, the current Equipment Manger is on-site until March 31st and eager to help train the right candidate on golf course specific maintenance, if needed.
The Ozaukee Country Club is a private, 18 hole golf facility located in Mequon, Wisconsin. Founded in 1922; our golf club has been in operation for 104 years. In 2024, the construction of a new, 11,800ft² grounds maintenance facility was completed. We strive each season to meet and exceed member expectations; the Equipment Manager position has and always will be an integral part of our team and operation.
Position Summary:
The Golf Course Superintendent and Equipment Manager work together to meet departmental goals each season. The Equipment Manager is responsible for the entirety of the equipment fleet including timely repairs, parts ordering, proper daily setup and safety assurances. Periodic service and frequent adjustments to cutting units is vital. The Equipment Manager is expected to maintain service records, equipment inventories, and implement preventative maintenance programs. We are hopeful to find a qualified mechanic who is ready to make a new shop their own as quickly as possible.
