This position offers an excellent opportunity to manage one of the most advanced playing surfaces in the California League. Diamond Baseball Holdings also offers competitive benefits packages and national support through its vast network of clubs. About the Field Renovation Excite Ballpark is currently undergoing a complete field renovation project to meet PDL standards. This project encompasses a new drainage system, irrigation system, off field vaulted manifold, pump system, sand base fusion rootzone, Duraedge infield with moisture rise, and Tahoma 31 Bermuda grass. To continue to be resource conscious Diamond Baseball Holdings has implemented Moisture rise and fusion rootzone. Moisture rise is a state-of-the-art subterranean infield watering system that allows moisture to be managed from the bottom of the infield column thus reducing man hours and overall water quantity. Fusion rootzone is a blend of sand and clay base soil that provides excellent infiltration and ideal porosity levels while also aiding in the retention of moisture and nutrients often lost in sand base athletic fields. New equipment is also being provided to support the maintenance of the new playing surface. Essential Duties and Responsibilities: General duties include, but are not limited to mowing, fertilizing, maintaining and rebuilding pitching mounds and home plate areas, dragging and moisture management of infield skin, field marking, edging, aerating, topdressing, verticutting, replacing sod, and tarping. Administrative and managerial oversight of the department. Planning for projects and outside events. Budgeting and forecasting, including approving payroll and payroll allocation for keeping equipment and irrigation in good working order. Hiring, training, and scheduling staff for events & organizing daily work list for staff. Managing materials inventory. Managing relationships with outside vendors. Communicate clearly and work well with fellow employees, coaches, and players. Must obtain and maintain proper local fertilizer applicator license within 90 days of hire date and follow all laws and regulations regarding fertilizer use and storage. Must have knowledge of USGA sand based rootzones and the management strategies associated with sand based athletic fields at the professional level. Other duties as assigned. We expect 3 – 5+ years of relevant experience for this role. Qualifications
