What are the responsibilities and job description for the Maintenance Technician (Thursday–Monday | Events & Tasting Room Support) position at Pippin Hill Farm and Vineyards LLC?
Description
About Us
Pippin Hill Farm & Vineyard is a premier destination in Virginia’s wine country, known for its vineyards, gardens, and high-level hospitality. We operate a large, guest-facing property with a busy tasting room and a full wedding and event program.
The Role
We’re looking for an experienced Maintenance Technician to be onsite during our busiest service periods — supporting tasting room operations and weddings in real time.
This is not a behind-the-scenes role. You’ll be working during peak guest hours, troubleshooting issues as they happen, and ensuring the property runs smoothly during live service.
What You’ll Do
- Troubleshoot and repair HVAC systems, commercial kitchen equipment, plumbing, electrical, and general building systems
- Provide onsite support during peak hours (especially weekends)
- Quickly assess issues, fix what you can, and escalate to vendors when needed
- Handle preventative maintenance and daily upkeep across the property
- Support events by ensuring all systems are operational before and during service
What We’re Looking For (Important)
- Proven experience with HVAC and commercial kitchen equipment is required
- Strong troubleshooting skills — you can diagnose and act quickly
- Experience in hospitality, commercial, or multi-building environments preferred
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, guest-facing environment
- Able to communicate and interact professionally with staff and guests
- Not a fit for candidates with only residential/home repair experience
Schedule
- Thursday – Monday (weekends required)
- Saturday & Sunday: 10 AM – 6 PM, with flexibility to stay later based on events
Why This Role
- Be a key part of live service operations, not just background support
- Work on a dynamic property with events, guests, and constant movement
- Join a strong team with opportunities to grow
Benefits
- Competitive hourly pay (based on experience)
- Employee discounts (food, wine, merchandise)
- Training and development opportunities
Salary : $22 - $28
