Equipment Shop Manager

ABOUT THE PEPPER PIKE CLUB Founded in 1924, Pepper Pike Club is an exclusive, private, member-owned golf club in Northeast Ohio. Established by visionaries committed to creating a club devoted solely to golf, Pepper Pike remains true to that purpose more than a century later. Its William Flynn–designed course hosts approximately 8,000 rounds annually during an April through October golf season. The Club’s small, close-knit membership and deep ties to Greater Cleveland’s philanthropic community reflect a tradition of stewardship, collaboration and long-term excellence.

POSITION SUMMARY Pepper Pike Club is seeking a skilled, hands-on Head Equipment Manager who brings energy, enthusiasm and pride to their work. Whether you are an established technician considering a compelling next chapter or an accomplished assistant ready to lead, this is an opportunity to make a lasting contribution at a Club that respects and looks after its employees.

At Pepper, the care we give our course begins with the people behind it. Employees are valued for their expertise, dedication and ideas, and treated with respect. We are seeking someone who wants to build a rewarding future here, with the trust to lead, room to grow and the opportunity to take genuine ownership of their department.

Working closely with the Golf Course Superintendent, the successful candidate will take a proactive approach to equipment management through thoughtful planning, comprehensive preventive maintenance schedules and precise attention to quality of cut. The cleanliness, organization and presentation of the fleet and shop will reflect the Club’s standards and commitment to protecting its investment.

The successful candidate will have full autonomy to build and lead their own Equipment Maintenance Team, selecting and developing personnel and establishing the systems, standards and culture of the operation. Your expertise and ideas will help shape the department’s future, with the opportunity to create a team and workspace you are proud to call your own.

The current fleet includes Toro, John Deere and Jacobsen equipment, along with utility vehicles and specialized machinery. A new John Deere lease package for greens, tees, fairways and approaches will arrive in 2027, as well as new GPS sprayers and rollers, reinforcing the Club’s continued investment in exceptional course conditioning. John Deere experience is an advantage but is not essential.
