Job Description

About the Role

We are seeking a dedicated, detail-oriented, and self-motivated individual to take ownership of the upkeep and beauty of our family property. This is not a traditional landscaping gig; we are looking for a long-term partner who treats our grounds and equipment as if they were their own. This is a W-2 employee position; we are not seeking contractors or landscaping companies.

As our Private Groundskeeper, you will be a vital part of our daily operations, ensuring the property is pristine, functional, and well-maintained. This role is perfect for someone who enjoys working outdoors, takes pride in craftsmanship, and thrives in a quiet, private environment. This person will also be assisting with livestock care when needed and supporting basic barn or farm tasks as needed.

The "Why"

  • Ownership: You won’t just be following a checklist; you will be the eyes and ears of the property.

  • Stability: We are looking for a permanent addition to our family ecosystem.

  • Growth: This role starts at 20 hours per week with the possibility of a transition into a full-time position as property needs evolve.

Primary Responsibilities

  • Perform routine mowing, edging, weeding, and seasonal planting. Ensure flower beds, trees, and shrubs are healthy and manicured.

  • Assist with general farm tasks (e.g., fence repair, trail clearing, or basic animal care assistance if applicable).

  • Identify and execute small-scale repairs.

  • Perform basic upkeep on property tools.

  • A 1-hour evening check to ensure gates are secure, livestock/animals are settled (if applicable), and the property is ready for the night.

  • This role is best suited for someone who naturally notices what needs to be done and takes initiative to complete it without needing to be asked.

Required Skills & Qualifications

  • Minimum 2+ years in landscaping, facility maintenance, or a "handyman" role.

  • Ability to walk the property, identify what needs to be fixed, and execute without constant supervision.

  • Since this is a split-shift role, consistent punctuality is a must.

  • Ability to work outdoors in various weather conditions and lift up to 50 lbs.

  • Must pass a background check and drug screening, as you will be working closely with a private family.

  • Dairy livestock experience beneficial

Location: Leeds, Utah

Pay Range: $18.00 - $21.00 per hour (based on experience) 

Job Type: Part-time (Transitioning to full-time) 

Schedule: Starting at 4 hours in the morning. The family travels at times and will need full farm assistance during that time.
