Grounds Keeper/Maintenance

Groundskeepers are responsible for maintaining the landscape of all School District grounds. Essential duties include mowing lawns, weed eating the edge of lawns, fertilizing lawns, pest control for grubs' late summer early fall, removing weeds, trimming shrubs, and removing unwanted trees. Ensuring walkways remain clear is another important task. During winter months keep walkways free of snow and ice.
Previous experience working in horticulture and landscape design is also advantageous. Groundskeepers need physical stamina to work on a lawn for hours at a time. Minimal supervision is generally given, so being self-motivated is another important trait.
 
Groundskeepers maintain and improve the landscapes around buildings and facilities, making sure that the place in question always looks its best. In addition, groundskeepers are responsible for removing snow, keeping walkways from becoming slippery during the rain, and spotting other potential dangers around the building. The health and safety of employees, children, and guests alike are in the hands of the groundskeeper. You will get the chance to use a variety of practical skills as a groundskeeper, including carpentry, masonry, gardening, electrical, and plumbing, all of which are valuable assets.
