Your wanting someone that doesn't exist in the first place, anyone who could do all that could make far more being on their own than you could ever pay. Anybody who had the qualifications to do a fraction of what you listed, doesn't need to work for you ever, he or she would have standing offers working for any plumber, electrician or whoever else there is out to needing someone talented enough do it all.
Not sure this has been mentioned, but maybe instead of looking for a jack of all trades so to speak, look at retiree's who've done those jobs and would be willing to work part time. Your wanting someone young who's willing to work, I doubt their out there at all, but someone who's semi retired or retired, who's used to working and now has nothing to do, might be interested in part time [work when they want] kind of work to do, just for something to do type of deal. But those you can't push or demand unreal expectations from or they'll just flat out quit due to not really needing the money.
Around here retired farmers still want to do odd jobs, drive tractors, trucks, combines or planters, but they don't want to work 20 hours a day 7 days a week anymore, they want a slower pace and if you can't offer that, they'll go work for someone who will allow them 5-10 hour days and only 5 days a week in season, the rest of year, its far less hours still and when they want time off, they either get it or quit type of thing. They can and will do anything, but at a slower pace than a lot of younger guys want to run. So as one younger farmer put it, either I accommodate them or I do it all alone, which isn't an option with the size of operation he's running. So his solution was, hire three times as many guys, run larger equipment and spend less overall hours getting it done, with a much happier workforce and quit working at night altogether since nobody wanted to work in the dark anyhow.
I think you need to look for a half dozen retired or semi retired guys for each job description and go from there. I also think you need a more laid back approach to getting the work done and set your expectations much lower as well, instead of directing traffic and putting out fires, you need a crew of people who have jobs they can choose from to go do as they want to, with enough people I think you'll find there's a job for everyone. Then figure out what or how they want to be reimbursed, its not always about the dollars per hour or paying top dollar, its about working conditions, times they can work or are willing to work and not really having to do something they don't want to do or hate doing to put it more bluntly.
Your in a high turnover job criteria, nobody younger will last very long before being offered far more money or benefits somewhere else if they are any good. If they are basically worthless, you'll have them forever or until you fire them. If you change your workers to an older generation, the turnover might be as high or higher, but with far more to choose from, you can sort or sift them out and around more.
Now maybe an older generation isn't available in your area, I don't know, but thinking Florida and retirement capital of the US and warmer winters, I'd think there might be some that would be looking for 15 or 20 hours a week to do what they've done their whole lives. Remember, most have to give up everything once they retire and move to somewhere new, but after a while, even retirement gets old and boring and many would love to do what they've done their whole lives but just at a pace they can now handle. Just a thought, do as you wish.
