Position Expectations
This is a full-time salaried management position requiring an average commitment of at least 45 hours per week. Because Lake Williamson operates year-round and serves guests throughout the week and on weekends, the Property Manager must have flexibility in availability when facility needs, emergencies, weather events, or projects require additional attention.

The position requires regular movement throughout Lake Williamson's 435-acre property and facilities. Duties may include prolonged standing and walking, bending, climbing, working indoors and outdoors in varying weather conditions, operating tools and equipment, and lifting or moving materials as appropriate to the work being performed.
Our Mission
The Property Manager plays an important role in the ministry of Lake Williamson Christian Center. The condition, safety, cleanliness, and appearance of our property directly impact the experience of every guest we serve.
