a mechanic – machinist driver

Our mountain golf course located in Villars-sur-Ollon lives to the rhythm of the seasons. To accompany the retirement of our mechanic, we are looking for his successor for the 2027 season.
The current holder will be present throughout the 2027 season: you will work alongside him and he will pass on to you the knowledge of the machine fleet, the settings specific to our course, and the workshop habits. An accompanied start-up, therefore, and not an urgent takeover.

Your mission

Ensure preventive maintenance and repairs of the entire machine fleet and vehicles
Guarantee cutting quality: sharpening and honing of cutting units, adjustment of cutting heights
Intervene on thermal and electric motors, hydraulics, transmissions, and electrical circuits
Troubleshoot machines on the course during work in progress
Manage the stock of parts and consumables, orders, and cost monitoring per machine
Prepare the winterization and recommissioning of the machine fleet
Drive the fleet's machines and vehicles for tests, controls, and transfers

Your profile

CFC as a mechanic for agricultural machinery, construction machinery, light vehicles, or training deemed equivalent; failing that, proven experience in the maintenance of green space equipment
Experience with golf course maintenance equipment: an asset, but we are happy to train a good mechanic on our machines
Autonomy, sense of organization and anticipation, neat work
Taste for versatility, both in the workshop and during interventions on the course
Team spirit and respect for safety rules
Category B driver's license; G or F license desired
Availability for irregular hours, as well as weekends and public holidays during the season
Good command of French

What we offer

A complete and varied position, within a small team where everyone counts
An organized handover with the current holder throughout your first season
An exceptional working environment, in the mountains, facing the Dents du Midi and Mont-Blanc
Remuneration in relation to experience and responsibilities
A collaboration that we wish to establish for the long term: the position is renewed from one season to the next and the stability of the team is important to us

Conditions

Fixed-term contract from 1 May to 30 November 2027, at 100 %, renewable from one season to the next. Place of work: Golf Club Villars, Villars-sur-Ollon.

We look forward to receiving your complete file (cover letter, curriculum vitae, work certificates, and copies of diplomas) by email until 31 January 2027, at the following address:
