If that sounds exciting to you, please read on… The University of Texas Golf Club is looking for a talented 2nd Assistant Superintendent (2AS) to join our dynamic team. The 2AS is a management position within the operation, and is one that you will be tested and pushed to your limits. You will have a direct reporting line to the Golf Course Superintendent, but will work alongside the Sr. Assistant Superintendent (SAS) and the 1st Assistant Superintendent (1AS). In this role you will have a direct impact on all golf course maintenance operations and be expected to perform at a high level in a very challenging climate. This position will be a learning position. But, your leadership skills will be challenged and forged as well. You will be expected to lead small and large crews, but also be a follower when necessary. Leadership is fluid, and you must know your role in every situation. The 2AS will aid in the development and leadership of an assistant-in-training (AIT), eighteen full time turf technicians, and seasonal interns. We are seeking individuals with high mental and physical aptitude. We want thinkers, innovators, and ones that can solve problems efficiently and effectively. The individual chosen will be held to a high standard of excellence, and ideally spend 4-6 years with the team, working through the ranks, before moving on to a superintendent position of their own. The Club, and myself want nothing more than to mentor and develop up-and-coming talent that have their goals set on becoming a successful golf course superintendent. Promoting a positive work/life balance is essential for your physical/mental health, the productivity at the golf course, and the people you will lead. I encourage flexible scheduling and promote time away for the things that make you happy. The Club offers a very lucrative benefits package with all the bells and whistles. Individuals that choose to constantly make themselves and the ones around them better, will always have an opportunity to earn additional privileges within the organization. |
