  • The ability to meaningfully support and encourage students, faculty, and staff from a biblical worldview perspective, using relevant and applicable references from the Old and New Testaments and orthodox Christian writings.
  • Demonstrated alignment with and enthusiastic support for the Christian Mission and Core Commitments of the University, including signing the University's Statement of Faith and Core Commitments annually.

Qualifications & Requirements
  • Experience: Minimum 3 years in institutional, commercial, or municipal grounds, featuring at least 2 years of dedicated commercial irrigation diagnostics.
  • Licenses/Certifications: Valid driver's license required. Certified Irrigation Technician (CIT) or Certified Landscape Irrigation Auditor (CLIA) credentials strongly preferred. Backflow tester certification is a plus.
