More Than Just Leading a Crew Good Team Leaders need good people around them. You’ll be joining a landscaping business that places just as much importance on its people as it does on the standard of its work. There’s a genuine family feel within the company.

People know each other, help each other out and are encouraged to speak up, contribute ideas and take ownership of what they do. The expectations around quality are high, but you’ll be given the equipment, systems and support to deliver it. It’s a friendly,



down-to-earth environment where good work is recognised and people who want to develop are given opportunities to do so.

Your Role You’ll take responsibility for a small maintenance crew and the day-to-day delivery of quality garden maintenance across high-end residential properties throughout Brisbane. This is very much a hands-on leadership role. You’ll be working alongside your team while also making sure jobs run efficiently, standards are maintained and clients receive the level of service they expect.

Your responsibilities will include

Leading and motivating a small garden maintenance crew

Organising the day and keeping your team on track

Maintaining high-end residential gardens

Pruning, hedging and detailed plant care

Mowing, edging and presentation work

Planting, mulching and seasonal garden maintenance

Weed and pest management

Monitoring plant health and identifying maintenance requirements

Ensuring each property is presented to a consistently high standard

Communicating professionally with clients when required

Training and mentoring less experienced team members

Maintaining safe and efficient work practices Requirements

What We’re Looking For You might already be running a garden maintenance crew,



or you could be an experienced gardener who has naturally become the person others turn to and is ready to officially step into leadership. Either way, you’ll need strong practical garden maintenance skills and the confidence to take responsibility for both people and outcomes.

Ideally, you’ll bring:

Solid experience in garden or landscape maintenance

Strong horticultural and plant knowledge

Experience leading, supervising or mentoring others

Strong pruning, hedging and garden-care skills

Excellent attention to detail

Ability to plan and organise your team's workload

Confidence communicating with clients and team members A positive, hands-on leadership style

Current QLD driver’s licence A horticultural qualification would be highly regarded, but practical experience, leadership ability and the right attitude are equally important. Benefits

Take Ownership of Your Next Role If you enjoy being on the tools but are ready for more responsibility, this gives you the opportunity to lead without becoming stuck behind a desk. You’ll have your own crew, quality equipment, a company vehicle and the support of an established business behind you. And, if you want to continue progressing beyond Team Leader, there are opportunities to develop further within the business over time.
