Assistant Golf Course Superintendent

With the towering beauty of Vancouver's North Shore Mountains serving as a backdrop, Mayfair Lakes in Richmond is a genuine golf sanctuary, offering year-round, semi-private golf in a secluded country ambiance that's just minutes from Vancouver.

A facility of this caliber requires a hands-on Assistant Superintendent, a true leader who is authentic, accountable, communicates exceptionally, and brings their best talents forward. Candidates must have strong collaborative skills, be constant learners, lead with positivity, and enjoy working with a team to create experiences worth talking about.

Reporting to the golf course Superintendent, this is a great opportunity for someone looking to grow their skills managing our expansive grounds, including the 18-hole course, practice facility, wedding site, and club house gardens. In recent years, the club has reinvested significant funds back into the property and is working with Lobb+Partners on a long-range Master Plan to modernize the course. With some exciting projects and developments in the works, our next Superintendent will have the opportunity to have a great impact on our facility.
