About The Position

The Desert of Maine Campground is a small, one-of-a-kind campground in Freeport, Maine located on the edge of the famous sand dunes of the Desert of Maine. The "campground" (if you can call it that) is comprised of 31 Instagram-ready A-frames, cabins, geodesic domes, and glamping tents nestled among tall pines tree with a beautiful Bath House building and a new Spa opening this year. What gets us out of bed every day is to create a truly magical experience for guests so they can step back from their busy lives for a minute, unwind, and wake up to what really matters. We obsess over every tiny detail so our guests can slip into a sense of wonder and stillness. Our vision is not possible without an elite team of truly exceptional maintenance and grounds personnel who share the following traits and characteristics: Perfectionist - High standards. You take pride in your work. Self-Starter - We need people who are smart, creative, and naturally hard-working who are allergic to being micro-managed. Aspirational - On one level this is a job like any other that puts food on the table, but we aim for it to be more than that. We are seeking people who want to be part of something bigger, something that makes a positive impact, something that feels like more than a job. Experience - Maintenance and grounds requires a lot of experience solving problems, using tools, being handy, and generally being outside and getting stuff done. The people that will be great in this role have been doing stuff like this their entire lives. Rock solid reliability - We need people that show up every day and put in their best effort because it's just who they are Good teammate - This is a small company--less than 10 people--so everyone here gets their hands dirty and we function as a cohesive, supportive team. You will work most of the day on your own, with earbuds in if you want, but we need people that also like being part of a solid group of co-workers that have each other's backs. Sense of humor - You don't need to be a comedian, but it makes a huge difference if you can at least laugh at yourself and the stressful situations that arise from day-to-day. Life is too short to take ourselves too seriously! Quick - We give our team as much time as they need to do things the right way, but everyone here naturally has a spring in their step. If you're slothy by nature, this may not be the best fit for you. Love - Every soul-sucking corporation puts "customer service" on their brochure even though the phrase has lost all its meaning. We're not afraid to say that what we're aiming for at the Desert of Maine Campground is much deeper than that. It's love--love for each other, love for our guests, love for ourselves, love for the little things... What we are trying to create is a place where guests can slip into a sense of magic and wake up again to what really matters in this short life. Love. That's all that matters in the end.
