Maintenance Technician (ThursdayMonday | Events & Tasting Room Support)

About Us

Pippin Hill Farm & Vineyard is a premier destination in Virginia’s wine country, known for its vineyards, gardens, and high-level hospitality. We operate a large, guest-facing property with a busy tasting room and a full wedding and event program.

The Role

We’re looking for an experienced Maintenance Technician to be onsite during our busiest service periods — supporting tasting room operations and weddings in real time.

This is not a behind-the-scenes role. You’ll be working during peak guest hours, troubleshooting issues as they happen, and ensuring the property runs smoothly during live service.

What You’ll Do

• Troubleshoot and repair HVAC systems, commercial kitchen equipment, plumbing, electrical, and general building systems
• Provide onsite support during peak hours (especially weekends)
• Quickly assess issues, fix what you can, and escalate to vendors when needed
• Handle preventative maintenance and daily upkeep across the property
• Support events by ensuring all systems are operational before and during service

What We’re Looking For (Important)

• Proven experience with HVAC and commercial kitchen equipment is required
• Strong troubleshooting skills — you can diagnose and act quickly
• Experience in hospitality, commercial, or multi-building environments preferred
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, guest-facing environment
• Able to communicate and interact professionally with staff and guests
• Not a fit for candidates with only residential/home repair experience

Schedule

• Thursday – Monday (weekends required)
• Saturday & Sunday: 10 AM – 6 PM, with flexibility to stay later based on events

Why This Role

• Be a key part of live service operations, not just background support
• Work on a dynamic property with events, guests, and constant movement
• Join a strong team with opportunities to grow

Benefits

• Competitive hourly pay (based on experience)
• Employee discounts (food, wine, merchandise)
• Training and development opportunities
