Apprentice Mechanic

Reporting to the Mechanic, the Apprentice Mechanic will be responsible for assisting in maintaining and repairing all golf course maintenance equipment. The right candidate will work closely with the Mechanic to develop their mechanical skills and gain experience in a Mechanic's Shop environment. Our goal is for you to learn as much as you can from our Mechanic, while helping to quite literally keep everything running smoothly around Redwoods! This is the ideal role for someone going through courses for a Heavy Duty Equipment Technician program.
There is some seasonality in the golf industry, so certain times of the year are busier than others. At times you may have up to 40 hours of work per week, particularly during the main golf season. But we will work alongside the successful candidate to accommodate a school schedule.
