Landscape Enhancement Foreperson

THE CLUB AT KUKUI`ULA

Our name "Kukui`ula" is the place name of our location on Kauai's southern shore, near world-famous Poipu Beach. Kukui`ula comes from two Hawaiian words: kukui, or candlenut - a traditional Hawaiian source for lighting oil - and 'ula, which means "red". In ancient Kauai, Kukui`ula served as a place to burn the kukui nut oil at night, its red glow guiding seafarers safely back to shore.

Just as in ancient times, modern-day Kukui`ula is a place that draws you in. It's a place for our club members and guests to come back home to, to recharge, reset and live well.

Presenting a mixture of extraordinary offerings, luxurious amenities, and down-to-earth comforts in a world-class environment that embodies heartfelt Hawaiian hospitality, The Club at Kukui`ula is the recreational centerpiece of the Kukui`ula community. Featuring the Plantation House's 'Umeke Kitchen & Bar, Makai Pool Grill & Bar, Hi'ilani Spa & Fitness, Huaka'i Outfitters island activities, Upcountry Farm, and 18-hole seashore paspalum Golf Course designed by noted golf course architect Tom Weiskopf.

When career opportunities present themselves, we seek candidates who share in our passion and vision to enrich and inspire our members, guests' and employee's pursuit of living well.

If this sounds like you, we welcome you to explore opportunities offered at The Club at Kukui'ula.
