Job description

SPORTS FIELD SOLUTIONS IS SEEKING AN:
Assistant Turf Manager
To maintain immaculate sports fields at Rice University.
WHO YOU ARE
You love sports. You spent your childhood summers on baseball fields, your fall Friday nights under stadium lights, and your winters on hard courts. You love a natural grass playing surface. Whereas your friends are in awe when they look at a professional baseball field, you are at home. You know the difference between a ¾" height of cut and a ½", and you understand just how hard it is to get those perfect infield edges at Globe Life Park. You are meticulous. Others see perfection when they look at your fields, but all you see is the almost-imperceptible divot in center field from the previous night's diving catch. You love being part of a team. Could you do it alone? Sure. Do you prefer the camaraderie of a team working to build a premium brand? Absolutely.
WHO WE ARE
We love sports fields. How much? As much as Texas loves its high school football. That's a lot. We know that the difference between feeling like a professional athlete and a high school walk-on is often the quality of the playing surface. We love nothing more than the glimmer of stadium lights on a freshly-cut, pristine natural grass playing surface. Finally, we believe that great people transform businesses. We provide a vision and then ask our people to creatively use their talents to achieve it.
CORE RESPONSIBILITIES
  1. Assist Turf Manager by supervising and supporting crew members to perform their best through proper training and guidance
  2. Assist Turf Manager in organizing, planning and execution of strategy

  5. Maintain premium sports field surfaces by implementing best practices in mowing, fertilization, pest management, aeration, moisture management, top dressing and more
  6. Monitor, report and resolve field issues such as turf stress, disease, irrigation problems and pest management issues
  7. Perform preventative maintenance operations on various pieces of equipment
  8. Perform irrigation audits to ensure system is operating efficiently
  9. Assist with tarp handling and inclement weather situations when customer deems necessary
