The Maryland SoccerPlex has retained SearchWide Global to find a positive, innovative, and experienced professional to serve as the new Director of Grounds and Environmental Management.
The Maryland SoccerPlex boasts 24 professionally maintained fields and a 66,000-square-foot fieldhouse. It is conveniently located just outside our nation’s capital, on the northwest side of Washington, DC, in Germantown, Maryland. The park is 162 acres and includes 22 full-size soccer fields: 16 native soil tournament fields (11 Kentucky bluegrass/ 5 Patriot bermudagrass), 2 sand-capped bermudagrass fields (4 varieties in a trial), 3 synthetic fields, and 2014 STMA Professional Soccer Field of the Year winner, SoccerPlex Stadium (fiber sand w/ Kentucky bluegrass).
The Director of Ground and Environmental Management should be motivated, open-minded, and environmentally conscious. As Director, this person will be responsible for all planning, scheduling, and personnel management for the GEM team. As such, their main focus should be the creation and maintenance of high-quality, multi-use natural grass playing surfaces. The Director will also be responsible for maintaining cohesive working relationships with not only SoccerPlex administrative staff but County Parks maintenance and administrative staff as well. In the long term, the director is expected to continue field renovations that lead to natural surfaces that are playable and consistent even in extreme conditions.
