What are the responsibilities and job description for the Utilities Assistant @ Bandon Dunes Golf Resort position at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort?
Most resort jobs put you in a room. This one puts you everywhere — underground, on-site, and out in the open air of the Oregon Coast. As a Utilities Assistant at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort, you’ll work alongside the Utilities Manager to keep the resort’s water treatment plant, wastewater systems, and plumbing infrastructure running the way guests and staff depend on. It’s hands-on, technically varied work that matters every single day — even if guests never see it.
What You'll Do:
- Keep the water flowing. You’ll assist with operation and maintenance of both the water treatment plant and wastewater treatment plant — taking readings, running tests, and keeping accurate lab records that meet Oregon state requirements.
- Maintain the infrastructure guests count on. From water and sewer line repairs to septic tanks, grease traps, wells, and groundwater systems, you’ll help keep the resort’s underground utilities in reliable working condition.
- Handle the plumbing side of things. When sinks, toilets, or basic plumbing needs attention across the resort, you’ll be part of the crew that fixes it. You’ll bring working knowledge of plumbing and electrical basics to daily problem-solving.
- Stay on top of compliance. You’ll help ensure the resort remains in compliance with state and federal regulations by completing work orders accurately, maintaining thorough records, and monitoring contractor work on-site.
- Support the team’s logistics. You’ll assist with sourcing and procuring the parts and materials needed to keep maintenance running smoothly through the resort’s purchasing system.
What You'll Bring:
- You’ve worked in utilities, plumbing, or a related trade. Two years of hands-on experience in utilities maintenance, plumbing, or a similar field is what we’re looking for. A degree is a plus, but practical experience matters more here.
- You’re comfortable operating equipment. You have experience with forklifts, tractors, or front-end loaders — or you’re willing to learn. Knowing your way around heavy equipment is part of how this job gets done.
- You can handle the physical demands. This is outdoor, physically demanding work in all kinds of Oregon Coast weather. You’re in good physical condition and ready to dig in — literally.
- You’re reliable when it matters most. Utilities don’t follow a 9-to-5 schedule. You’re available for on-call situations and flexible about hours when the work requires it.
- You’re on a path toward certification. Certifications to operate wastewater systems, water treatment, distribution, and collection systems are required for this role. You may not have them yet — and that’s okay — but you’ll need to obtain them once on board.
