Grounds Maintenance Workers Jobs Near Me in Michigan

Position Description:

THE PURPOSE OF A "GENERAL APPLICATION" or "GEN APP":

The purpose of a "General Application" or a "GEN APP" is to allow potential applicants to express their interest in working for American Land & Leisure in our various campgrounds around the country. This DOES NOT indicate or guarantee that there are any current open positions in the area listed. This application is for convenience of the applicant only.

District-Specific applications are posted when a position is actually open.

When an opening does occur, the both District-Specific applications and the General /Gen applications are combined into one list of candidates for the hiring manager(s) to consider. Completing a General App/Gen App does not increase or decrease a candidate's chances of being hired. General applications are considered on the same level as a district-specific application.
