Assistant Mechanic - Golf Course Maintenance

The Assistant Mechanic plays a key role in maintaining and repairing all golf course maintenance equipment used at Cassique and River Course golf courses at Kiawah Island Club. This position supports the delivery of exceptional playing conditions by ensuring all machinery operates at peak performance across two distinct, world-class golf environments.

Armed with a $5 million operating budget, the exclusive Kiawah Island Club needs an individual who is organized, detail-oriented, self-motivated and has verifiable experience leading golf course maintenance crews. The River Course provides a challenging and inspiring 7,039-yard test. Eight holes play along the Kiawah River and Bass Pond, with the other fairways and greens along marsh savannas, ponds, and oak-filled maritime forests. The River Course site, which extends a mile or so along the Kiawah River, was the location of the first English settlement on the Island in the 18th century. In 1999, it was fully certified as an Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary.
