Structural Landscaper / Retaining Wall Builder – Full Time (Brisbane Northside)
We build high‑end concrete sleeper and block retaining walls across Brisbane. Big, structural jobs, not mowing lawns. We’re busy, growing, and looking for a solid structural landscaper to join the crew.
If you can turn plans into rock‑solid walls and you’re sick of working for disorganised operators, this is for you.
About the role
You’ll be working on structural landscaping projects from start to finish, mainly:
Building concrete sleeper and block retaining walls ($200k+ jobs)
Reading plans / set‑out with the engineer’s specs
Assisting with excavation, footings, steel, drainage and backfilling
Installing sleepers/blocks to line and level
Keeping sites secure, tidy, and client‑friendly
Working as part of a small, tight crew (and stepping up as leading hand over time if you’re the right person)
Most work is on the northside of Brisbane with machine access – no backyard postage‑stamp nightmares every day.
What we offer
Full‑time work with consistent hours (no sitting at home wondering if you’ve got a job next week)
Good money for valuable operators – above‑award based on experience (happy to discuss in person)
Overtime available when jobs require it
Quality gear and organised jobs (engineering, permits, materials sorted)
Transparent systems and timelines – we actually start and finish when we say we will
Real progression: prove yourself and we’ll move you toward leading hand / foreman
What we’re looking for
Must‑haves:
Experience in structural landscaping / retaining walls (ideally 2–3+ years)
Comfortable working with concrete sleepers/blocks, steel, drainage, set‑out
White Card & driver’s licence
Physically fit and ok with hard work in all weather
Turns up on time, does what they say, doesn’t disappear on Mondays
Nice‑to‑haves (not deal‑breakers):
Experience operating mini excavators / skid steers
Own transport and basic tools
Experience dealing with builders/engineers on site
