Maintenance and Gardening manager

Your responsibilities cover a spectrum of tasks—from implementing technical maintenance plans and overseeing forest management to swiftly resolving emergencies and managing the upkeep of our facilities, including the vital aspects of swimming pool maintenance and safety. You'll also play a crucial role in personnel matters, schedule coordination, and team discussions.

Beyond the nuts and bolts, your hands-on approach extends to the meticulous care of buildings and rental accommodations. Whether it's fixing a faulty light or addressing restroom issues, you're the reliable problem solver. With your green thumb, you'll shape landscapes, trim bushes, and oversee essential tasks like monitoring pool water quality. You advise the park manager and colleagues on technical and green issues, are involved in renovations and/or new construction plans and maintain contact with suppliers. Guests can always come to you with questions. Working collaboratively with your team, you'll contribute to crafting an atmosphere that transforms a holiday into a cherished memory for our guests.

Located in between the Ardèche river and the 17^th-century castle of Château de Sampzon is the lively park RCN la Bastide en Ardèche. From your tent or caravan you can hear the chorus of crickets against the background burbling of the river. The park has a wonderful atmosphere. Everyone gets to know everyone else and it turns into one big family. The park is surrounded by hidden caves, rocky outcrops, rivers, castles and quaint villages. You can canoe your way to the world-renowned Pont d’Arc.

• You have followed a relevant education or have work experience in a similar position;
• You have experience in managing a small team;
