As the hours can vary greatly to ensure you walk away with a healthy sum of money for the 4 weeks of work we guarantee €1600 per person upon completing the 4 weeks of work. This equates to €20 per hour or the equivalent to 75 hours worked. Last season the main yard manager worked 75 hours - this season we are expecting up to 90 hours. If 90 hours are worked then of course your hourly rate of €20 per hours applies and you would receive €1800. Here is a breakdown of the hours the yard manager worked each week last year (varies season to season):
LAST SEASON SAMPLE HOURS:
Week 1 (Nov 19th - Dec 25th hours "5 days"
Week 2 (Nov 26th - Dec 2nd hours "3 days"
Week 3 (Dec 3rd - Dec 9th) - 22 hours "4 days"
Week 4 (Dec 10th - Dec 16h) - 15 hours "3 days"
Typically we see 5 or so hours in the last week rolling into Dec 17th/18th our final days of deliveries.
We are looking for someone that will be in a position to return each season. Each returning season you receive a signing bonus of €250 that increases by €250 each returning year, capped at a max of €750.
