Grounds Maintenance Equipment Operator

The Grounds Maintenance Equipment Operator serves as a skilled pilot on the Airport Authority’s Field Maintenance team, navigating motorized machinery essential for keeping the airfield’s "runways" smooth and safe. Just like a captain ensures a smooth flight, this role involves expertly operating equipment for the construction and maintenance of airstrips, taxiways, access roads, parking lots, and airport grounds.

The operator also "runs pre-flight checks," inspecting equipment, performing preventative maintenance, and making "in-flight adjustments"—or repairs—when necessary to ensure all systems stay operational.
