ABOUT THE HENRY KAUFMANN CAMPGROUNDS

The Henry Kaufmann Campgrounds is a small non-profit working in the day camp sphere with three locations. HKC Staten Island is responsible for the 75-acre property, which serves as home to three separate children's day camps.

As a seasonal organization, HKC hires workers that provide maintenance and janitorial services, aquatics supervision and security to ensure we can carry out our mission to provide a safe environment and meet the needs of the camps who call HKC home.

Our philosophy for success is to focus on the employee experience and ensure our staff have the training, tools and support they need to achieve excellence.

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF THE PROPERTY MANAGER

The Park Manager is involved in the long-term planning of HKC, and is tasked with developing and implementing preventative plans for property and vehicle maintenance. On a weekly and daily basis, the Park Manager will be assigning tasks and managing the Work Orders.

This is a hands on role so on any given day the Property Manager might be mowing, painting, repairing a vehicle, handling a water or sewage issue, removing trash or blowing leaves and using such equipment as backhoe, tractor, skid steer, ride-on deck mower or 3-wheel groomer.

There is a cycle to the work based upon the season (winterizing in the fall, planning and deep cleaning or repair in the winter, preparing for camp in the spring, and maintaining in the summer) but there are always regular tasks to be done regardless of the season. Each week brings its own challenges, with the Park Manager having to adjust plans based upon the weather.

MANAGEMENT

As the Park/Property Manager, you'll be leading the team at our Staten Island site with one other year-round full-time maintenance and repair professional and a crew of seasonal staff. You'll have the responsibility for teaching, mentoring and inspiring your team to excel in everything asked of them. You'll have the full support of a senior management team who wants to hear your voice and will report directly to a knowledgeable Chief of Operations wholly invested in the success of the team.

WORK SCHEDULE

This job requires the team to work in-person. It's mainly a Monday - Friday job, with hourly workers clocking in from 7:00AM - 3:30PM. During the off-season (September - April) there may be the occasional weekend event. The gear up to the start of camp (May - June) is the busiest time, where extended days and weekend work should be expected as we make sure the grounds are ready to welcome the campers on the first day of camp.

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS

The ideal candidate has to have at least 5-years' experience successfully managing a team, be it as a foreman, a project manager or in some other capacity. This experience must include training and evaluating staff, an excellent safety record, and working hands on side-by-side with the team. Also required is a valid driver's license and comfort with technology as a management tool.

Our new Park/Property Manager should have working knowledge of general maintenance, landscaping and janitorial services as well as painting, carpentry, electrical wiring and controls, plumbing, vehicle and machinery operation and water and sewage treatment but also specialize in one of these areas.

Within 6-months of hiring, the Property Manager will be expected to obtain OSHA30 Certification and become a CPO (certified pool operator) and be first-aid certified; all at no cost to them.

A degree or certificate in property management, agronomy, landscape management or a related field is preferred.
