We are seeking a qualified and experienced Groundskeeper/Property Caretaker to implement and manage the upkeep and maintenance of a large residential estate in McKinney, TX. The successful candidate will be responsible for ensuring that the property is well-maintained and running efficiently. This is a Mon-Friday 9-5 job that requires your daily presence on the estate, so local candidates are preferred.

You need to love dogs – there are two German Shepherds on the estate – and be okay around honeybees as you will be responsible for maintaining a mowed path to them for the bee-keeper’s access.
Sometimes you will need to drive your employer to appointments, so you will need to have an excellent driving record. You should be in good physical condition as this is a physically demanding job. You should have an eye for detail and good organizational skills. You should have great people skills and hold all hired help to the highest standards. You will need to have a great sense of humor as your future employer really appreciate that.
