Campground Maintenance and Construction Specialist
Pay: $40,000-$45,000 per year
Job Type: Full-time, year-round
Primary Location: Quakertown, Pennsylvania
Travel: Regular travel and temporary relocation to Ashland, Illinois
Work Setting: In person, RV-based/mobile
About the Position
We are looking for an experienced, hands-on maintenance and construction professional who enjoys diagnosing problems, completing projects, and working in different environments.
We own and operate two family campgrounds:
- Tohickon Family Campground in Quakertown, Pennsylvania
- Crazy Horse Campground in Ashland, Illinois
We also operate GO TIME, a Pennsylvania-based property management, maintenance, and construction business.
This is not a routine campground groundskeeping position. Campground hosts and local employees handle much of the recurring daily maintenance. We need someone with stronger technical and construction abilities who can travel between properties to complete projects and resolve issues that require greater skill and experience.
What You Will Do
- Diagnose maintenance, construction, and property-related problems
- Complete plumbing and water-system repairs
- Troubleshoot and complete appropriate electrical repairs
- Perform carpentry, building repairs, and renovations
- Repair and improve campsite electrical, water, and sewer utilities
- Maintain and improve campground infrastructure
- Troubleshoot and repair equipment
- Complete preventive-maintenance projects
- Perform construction and property-improvement work
- Maintain recreational facilities and campground amenities
- Complete renovation projects at campground and residential properties
- Address problems beyond the capabilities of routine campground staff
- Determine when specialized contractors are needed
- Coordinate with outside contractors when appropriate
- Document completed work, materials used, and additional needs
- Respond to urgent maintenance situations when required
Year-Round and Project-Based Work
This is a full-time, year-round position, but the type and location of work will change based on current projects and seasonal needs.
During campground season, work will primarily involve skilled maintenance and improvement projects at Tohickon Family Campground and Crazy Horse Campground.
During the off-season or when campground project needs are lighter, the position will support maintenance, renovation, and construction projects through our Pennsylvania-based GO TIME operation.
The workload may include:
- Campground opening and closing projects
- Repairs and emergency maintenance
- Property improvements
- Renovations
- Preventive maintenance
- Seasonal projects
- Capital improvement projects
Required Qualifications
- At least three years of professional maintenance, construction, or skilled-trade experience
- Experience in multiple areas of property maintenance or construction
- Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving ability
- Ability to evaluate a problem, develop a practical solution, and complete the work
- Ability to work independently and manage assigned projects
- Dependable attendance and professional communication
- Ability to safely use hand tools, power tools, ladders, and maintenance equipment
- Ability to safely perform physical work indoors and outdoors in varying weather conditions, with or without reasonable accommodation
- Valid driver’s license and reliable personal vehicle
- Personally owned RV suitable for full-time living
- Ability to use Pennsylvania as the primary home base
- Willingness to travel between Pennsylvania and Illinois
- Ability to remain at either campground for extended periods when projects require it
- Flexibility to respond to seasonal, weekend, and emergency maintenance needs
Preferred Experience
Experience in several of the following areas is strongly preferred:
- General construction
- Carpentry
- Plumbing
- Electrical troubleshooting
- Building maintenance
- Campground or RV park utilities
- Water and sewer systems
- Equipment repair
- Mechanical troubleshooting
- Renovations
- Property maintenance
- Facilities maintenance
Trade licenses, certifications, or formal training are valuable but are not required. Broad practical experience, good judgment, reliability, and the ability to independently solve problems are especially important.
Location, RV Living, and Travel
Pennsylvania will serve as the anticipated primary home base. However, traveling between our properties is a fundamental responsibility of this position.
The employee must be willing to travel between Pennsylvania and Illinois and remain at either campground for extended periods when projects require it.
Compensation and Benefits
- Annual salary of $40,000-$45,000, depending on experience and qualifications
- Full-time, year-round employment
- Overtime eligibility in accordance with applicable wage and hour laws
- Company-provided full-hookup RV site and utilities while stationed at one of our campgrounds
- Company-paid fuel for required travel between company locations
- Variety of campground, maintenance, renovation, and construction projects
The employee is responsible for providing their own RV and personal vehicle.
