Are you the type of person who notices something is broken and fixes it before someone has to ask?
Lush Dog Resort is looking for a dependable, hands-on Maintenance Director to take ownership of the day-to-day maintenance and upkeep of our dog resort.
This is a great position for someone who enjoys working independently, takes pride in keeping a property in excellent condition, and is comfortable tackling a wide variety of projects. No two days are exactly the same.
You'll work around dogs every day, so being comfortable in a busy dog environment is a must.

You'll help keep our buildings, yards, equipment, and grounds safe, functional, clean, and well-maintained.
Responsibilities include:
- Perform routine repairs and preventative maintenance throughout the property

- Keep maintenance tools, supplies, and work areas organized
- Communicate when parts, materials, or outside vendors are needed
- Identify larger repairs that require a licensed professional or outside contractor
- Assist with hurricane preparation, storm cleanup, and occasional urgent facility needs
- Follow projects through to completion rather than waiting for reminders or follow-up
What We're Looking For
The right person is someone who can walk through the property, notice what needs attention, prioritize it, and get it done.
You should be:
- Reliable and punctual
- Self-motivated and comfortable working independently
- Proactive rather than waiting to be given a task list
- Organized and able to manage multiple projects

- Comfortable troubleshooting problems and finding practical solutions
