Resort Maintenance Manager

Resort Maintenance Manager PawHaus Resort | Goodrich, TX (Lake Livingston) | $40,000

• 49,000/year | Full-Time PawHaus Resort is a first-of-its-kind dog-first nature hotel opening Q1 2027 on Lake Livingston in Goodrich, TX.

We are not pet-friendly — we are dog-first. 20+ resort cabins, lakefront grounds, and a guest experience built entirely around people and their dogs. We are building something that has never existed before and we need the right person to keep it running. This is a wide-ranging, hands-on role. You are the boots-on-the-ground keeper of this property — responsible for every cabin, every common space, and every system that makes the guest experience possible. You report to the General Manager.

• Perform irrigation repairs — sprinkler heads, broken lines, timer adjustments
• Operate UTVs, tractors, and resort equipment Operations and safety
• Continuously inspect the property for safety hazards and correct them immediately
