• Ability to work independently and as part of a team
• Proactive, solution-based mindset with a willingness to study and research maintenance
and repair related topics
4+ years of hands-on maintenance experience, preferably in a resort setting
• Intermediate to advanced knowledge of plumbing, heating, HVAC and electrical systems
• Willingness and ability to respond to after hours, on-call service requests
• Able and willing to work inside and outside in various weather conditions\

and vision plans, employee housing & meal plans, 401k, holidays, and paid vacation.


Please note, the ranch is located 46 miles from the closest town (Steamboat Springs, CO).
