About the Role
THE PROPERTY
Beaver Dam Farms is a historic 1,000-acre private destination resort undergoing a world-class transformation.
Originally the estate of Kenny Rogers, the property features a unique 18-hole golf course, elite equestrian facilities, and organic farming operations.
We are seeking a highly motivated professional to oversee the heartbeat of our operation: the equipment fleet.
THE ROLE
As the Lead Mechanic, you are responsible for a diverse fleet of specialized machinery.
Your primary focus is ensuring that all golf course and estate equipment is maintained to the highest standards.
We are looking for a mechanic who understands that "good enough" isn't an option when creating a world-class guest experience.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
* Precision Maintenance: Oversee the repair and preventative maintenance of all golf course equipment, including specialized reel mowers, tractors, and utility vehicles.
As well as heavy equipment and farm tractors
* Grinding & Sharpening: Maintain the highest quality of cut by performing regular reel grinding and bedknife sharpening.
* Fleet Management: Maintain detailed service records, manage parts inventory, and organize a clean, efficient, and safe shop environment.
* Safety & Training: Ensure all equipment is safe for operation and assist in training the crew on proper equipment handling and daily checks.
* Estate Support: Provide mechanical support for the property’s equestrian and organic farming machinery as needed.
CANDIDATE PROFILE
* Experience: 5 years of experience in mechanical repair, specifically with turf equipment (Toro, John Deere).
* Technical Skill: Proficiency in diesel/gas engines, hydraulics, and electrical diagnostics.
Experience with reel theory and grinding is a significant advantage.
* The "Ground-Floor" Mindset: We are in a phase of major growth.
We need someone adaptable and eager to help build a premier shop operation from the ground up.
* Organization: A self-starter who keeps a meticulous shop and tracks every nut, bolt, and filter.
