DBS Staffing Services, Inc. is a family-owned staffing company dedicated to connecting reliable workers with great job opportunities. We're currently looking for 1 experienced Groundskeeper to join our team! If you have a strong work ethic, enjoy working outdoors, and are looking for stable work with opportunities to earn more, we want to hear from you.

Job Description:

As a Groundskeeper, you will be responsible for maintaining the beauty and cleanliness of outdoor areas. In addition to typical landscaping tasks like trimming, weed removal, and debris clearing, you'll also be responsible for setting up and taking down tents and chairs for funeral services. During the winter months, you'll assist with snow removal and ice control to ensure safe, clean outdoor spaces.

Responsibilities:

• Trim and edge weeds, plants, and grass to maintain a clean, neat appearance
• Remove weeds, leaves, and debris from outdoor areas to keep grounds attractive
• Set up and take down tents and chairs before and after funeral services
• Assist with snow removal and ice control during winter months
• Follow safety protocols and operate landscaping tools and equipment effectively

Requirements

• MUST BE ABLE TO PASS A DRUG TEST
• Previous experience in grounds-keeping, landscaping, or similar outdoor labor preferred
• Knowledge of groundskeeping equipment
• Strong attention to detail and the ability to work independently
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
• Physical stamina to perform physically demanding tasks (ability to lift heavy objects)
• Flexibility to work weekends and holidays as required

Benefits

What We Offer:

• $12.41/hr starting rate + opportunities for overtime pay!
• Paid weather delays (break room provided during rain and other delays)
• Stable, full-time work with consistent hours Monday through Saturday.
• Think of this role like a firefighter's job, even if there's no immediate task, you still need to be on-site and ready. Just like firefighters stay prepared even when there's no emergency, you'll be expected to stay on-site during weather delays or when there is no funeral service. And, yes, you're getting paid to be there!
• While waiting, you can perform tasks like preventative maintenance on the equipment, cleaning the markers, organizing tools, or tidying up the work areas.
  

What Your Work Week Looks Like:

During the summer months, the workdays are longer to take full advantage of the daylight hours. As a result, you can expect to work longer hours, while in the winter, the shorter days mean an earlier finish to your work. Regardless of the season, you'll benefit from daily overtime, which boosts your pay!
