You will work an 8 hour day Monday-Friday unless you are needed to work on a weekend if there is an event.

There is always something to repair on this property as the home is 101 years old this year.

Someone that can work in tandem with a house manager but also take their own initiative. It would be the groundskeeper’s responsibility to alert house manager of more in-depth repairs or projects and the two will work together to source and schedule vendors.
