Job Summary

The University of Kentucky (UK), the state’s flagship university, was founded in 1865 and its beautiful, sprawling campus, nestled in downtown Lexington, now covers over 900 acres and is home to more than 30,000 students and approximately 13,500 employees. The trees and beautifully manicured greenspaces are a source of pride for the university and combine to create an impressive oasis amidst the busy cityscape that surrounds it.

UK is in search of a Grounds Worker who will play an integral role in maintaining the picturesque campus that students and employees alike spend so much of their day. The Grounds Worker is an essential and important role that ensures the aesthetic and functional greenspaces on campus are supported and preserved.

The Grounds Worker will provide landscaping services to specific areas of campus, which include mowing, weeding, mulching, plant installation, sanitation services, and more. Operation of mowers, trucks, utility vehicles, tractors, loader and other light to medium duty equipment will be required. This position also supports designated venue maintenance and cleanup efforts throughout campus.

The Grounds Worker also delivers the vital winter weather services needed to ensure the campus is safe and accessible for all visitors, including snow and ice control and removal (at any hours, including nights, weekends, and holidays). This position will require the operation of light to heavy snow/ice removal equipment. UK is looking for individuals who thrive in environments that offer task variety, who enjoy working on a team, and who are motivated by making immediate and long-lasting improvements in landscaping and maintenance. This position is a rewarding alternative for those who prefer to work outside the traditional office setting.
