The role
Coorie Retreats is opening a new luxury retreat site on the coast at Dunbar, and we need one capable, hands-on person to run it. This is not a clipboard job. You’ll be the person who keeps the site looking and working like a five-star retreat - building, fixing, organising and problem-solving. Straight talk: the first few months are hard graft. The site needs brought up to our standard, and you’ll be at the centre of that push. Once it’s there, the job settles into a steady rhythm of upkeep, projects and keeping guests happy - on hours that work around your life.
What you’ll do
- Building & joinery - hands-on construction and joinery work across the site, from decking and cladding to fit-out and new site-improvement projects.
- Maintenance & grounds - day-to-day repairs and upkeep: accommodation units, fencing, plumbing basics, grass cutting and grounds presentation.
- Hot tubs - daily temperature and chemical checks on every tub, cleaning between guests, filter maintenance, stocking burners and keeping water-safety records.
- Changeovers - running turnover days with our cleaning team: units cleaned, consumables topped up and everything guest-ready before check-in, every time.
- Guest contact & on-call - holding the site phone for guest texts and calls during stays, and first point of contact for genuine out-of-hours emergencies.
- Managing trades - scoping, pricing and organising external trades when a job is bigger than one pair of hands.
- Materials & stock - ordering materials, consumables, linen and fuel; company card provided, keeping costs sensible.
- Safety & compliance - keeping the site safe, tidy, compliant and at a standard guests pay a premium for.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Who we’re looking for
- Genuinely hands-on - skilled in joinery, confident across general building and maintenance, and proud of finish quality (our guests notice everything).
- A fixer and an organiser: you see a problem, you sort it, you don’t wait to be asked.
- Reliable enough to be the go-to person for the site - including the odd late call.
- Full driving licence; own tools and transport a strong plus.

The deal
- £500 per week, employed (PAYE), paid weekly - around £26,000 a year, plus holiday entitlement. This will grow quickly when more units are added to the site, with plans already in place
- Extremely flexible hours. Typically 9am–4pm, and within reason you choose the pattern that suits you - the one fixed point is changeover days, where units must be ready for check-in.
- Family friendly. Bring your kids to site when you need to. Dogs welcome too.
- Real autonomy. You run the site day to day - no one looking over your shoulder.
- Steady pay, seasonal rhythm. Summer is full-on; winter is quieter with project work - pay stays the same all year.
- Earning upside. Run guest extras (arrival packages, firewood, add-ons) and share in what you sell.
- Room to grow. Coorie Retreats is part of a growing hospitality group - this site won’t be the last.
