### On a typical day you will:
- Apply chemicals accurately, keep records of applications, and obtain and maintain a state pesticide license.
- Water and fertilize putting greens, tees, fairways, and roughs according to instructions.
- Operate powered equipment for mowing various areas of the golf course, including greens, slopes, collars, roughs, aprons, and tees, etc. using the appropriate pieces of equipment.
- Operate light equipment for hauling materials and removing debris.
- Perform daily checklists on all equipment use and ensure that equipment is washed, fueled, (if applicable), and returned to proper storage areas.
- Maintain equipment and tools, keeping them organized, clean, and in good working conditions.
- Grade and prepare soil plant beds, lay sod, plant vegetative material, and seed putting greens, tees, fairways, and roughs.
- Assist in construction of new greens, tees, and fairways by grading, preparing soil, and planting.
- Maintain ball washers, water coolers, water hazards, and bunkers, ensuring cleanliness throughout the day.
- Trim trees, prune shrubbery, and cultivate shrubs and flowers as needed.
- Ensure that equipment and tools are kept out of the field of play and minimize noise to avoid disturbing golfers.
- Keep all areas on the golf course, including tee boxes, flowerbeds, and work carts free of debris.
- Ensure daily assignments are completed to meet club standards, including maintaining a clean course free of trash and debris.
You will report to the Equipment Manager and be expected to assist others as needed because, due to the dynamic nature of the club, employees may take on additional tasks as assigned by management. Follow all company, club, and department policies, procedures, and instructions while maintaining a high level of professionalism in interactions with members, colleagues, and staff.

Take initiative in personal and professional growth and maintain any required certifications relevant to your role. Attend daily briefings and actively engage in required activities to stay informed and contribute to the team’s success. Address and resolve challenges using available resources, working with regional and corporate teams to support club operations.
