Jobs and Employment - Shaffer's High Sierra Summer Camps

Facilities / Maintenance Jobs

Overview

Shaffer's High Sierra Camp offers children 8 to 17 a traditional summer camp experience but with a focus on noncompetitive wilderness adventure activities in California's splendid Tahoe National Forest. (Go to our Home page to read more.)

Each year, the Camp needs a facilities engineer, whose primary duties will be grounds and facilities maintenance and repair, and one whose main duty is as a custodian or janitor. (Go to our facilities page to read more about the Camp facilities.)

Openings

As of May 26, 2008 we still have an opening for a chief facilities engineer.

Dates

Your start date will depend on when the snow melts and your end date will depend on outstanding projects. As a rough approximation, we think that will translate to work from mid June to mid August.

Pay

The salary is negotiable, depending upon skill and experience. Room and board are included.

Requirements

We look for people who are mature, responsible, able to operate on their own initiative, and have a strong work ethic. The following skills are desirable but not necessary: basic plumbing skills, carpentry skills, painting experience, pool maintenance experience, chain saw experience, and small engine maintenance/repair experience. See our job description for a more complete description of duties. (You will need Adobe Acrobat to read the job description; you may download a FREE copy.)
