Seasonal Grounds Maintenance Worker – Work Outside in the Colorado Rockies

Trade your desk for mountain views and make the outdoors your workplace.

If you love working with your hands, don't mind getting a little dirt on your boots, and would rather spend your day surrounded by towering peaks than four walls, this is the job for you.

Join the Grounds Maintenance team at YMCA of the Rockies – Snow Mountain Ranch, where you'll help care for one of Colorado's premier mountain destinations. From colorful flower beds and scenic trails to snow-covered walkways and sprawling landscapes, your work will directly shape the experience of more than 50,000 guests each year.

Every day brings something different—and the Rocky Mountains are your office.

What You'll Do

  • Keep our grounds beautiful, safe, and guest-ready year-round

  • Plant and maintain flowers, trees, shrubs, and landscaped areas

  • Operate and maintain irrigation systems

  • Remove snow and help keep walkways safe during winter

  • Assist with trail and road grooming projects

  • Safely operate landscaping equipment, vehicles, and power tools

  • Help preserve the natural beauty of Snow Mountain Ranch

Who We're Looking For

You enjoy working outdoors in all kinds of weather and take pride in seeing the results of a hard day's work. You're dependable, safety-minded, and appreciate being part of a team that values stewardship and service.

Experience with landscaping, irrigation systems, mowers, tractors, chainsaws, or other grounds equipment is helpful, but we're willing to train motivated individuals who are eager to learn.

A valid driver's license is required.

Why You'll Love It Here

Snow Mountain Ranch sits in the heart of Colorado's Rocky Mountains, where your days off can include hiking alpine trails, mountain biking, fishing, kayaking, wildlife watching, skiing, snowshoeing, or simply enjoying incredible mountain scenery.

You'll work with a supportive team that values hard work, community, and making a difference while spending your days in one of the most beautiful places in the country.
