Join Our Team as a Track & Stabling Maintenance Hand

Do you love working outdoors, hands-on with machinery, and being part of a team that keeps racing safe and world-class? We’re looking for a Track & Stabling Maintenance Hand to help us keep our racecourse, stables, grounds buildings and equipment in top condition.

This role is all about variety – no two days look the same. From mowing lawns and repairing stables to operating tractors and setting up for race days, you’ll play a key part in making sure everything runs smoothly on and off the track.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Maintain stables, buildings, grounds and the racetrack to a high standard, ensuring safety first.

  • Operate and care for plant and equipment such as tractors, forklifts, and other equipment.

  • Supporting race days by helping set up and pack down furniture and equipment.

  • General grounds maintenance

  • Keeping detailed track records, opening/closing the track daily, and activating safety measures when needed.

  • Lending a hand with upgrades and special projects across the venue.

  • Follow DTC Track maintenance procedures.

What we’re looking for:

  • Someone handy with tools, welding, and machinery.

  • A team player with good communication skills and strong attention to detail.

  • Experience with horses, grounds maintenance, tractors, or machinery is highly valued.

  • Flexibility to work weekends, early mornings, and longer hours during our busy June–August season (no leave during this period).

  • Tickets and licenses (Forklift, HR, First Aid) are great to have – but the right attitude is just as important.

Why join us?

You’ll be joining a hardworking, supportive team where your work directly impacts the safety and presentation of our race days. If you’re someone who takes pride in quality workmanship and enjoys a role that gets you outdoors, this is the perfect fit.
