Operations Trades Assistant - Landscapes and Grounds Maintenance
Australian Facilities Group – Sydney CBD NSW
Multiple Positions Available – Sydney Metro & Western Sydney
Keen to get outdoors, learn from experienced crews, and grow your skills on the job?
AFL is after reliable, switched-on Trades Assistants to join our grounds and landscape maintenance crews across Sydney.
You'll be out on the tools every day — mowing, edging, mulching, pruning, weed and litter control, irrigation checks — keeping some of Sydney's biggest sites looking sharp.
You don't need years of experience.
You need a solid work ethic, a good attitude, and the willingness to learn from people who know their stuff.
What you'll be doing
Carrying out daily maintenance works to program — mowing, edging, mulching, pruning, weed control, irrigation checks, litter and waste removal
Setting up, operating and packing down plant, equipment and materials
Following SWMS, pre-starts and secure work practices on every site, every day
Reporting hazards, near‐misses and equipment faults straight away




Using materials efficiently and keeping waste down
Capturing works‐completed records and photos where needed
Working in with the crew and taking direction from your leading hand or supervisor
What you'll bring
A strong, reliable work ethic and a genuine willingness to learn
Physical fitness — this is an active, outdoors role in all weather
A current driver's licence (essential)
A safety‐first mindset and the sense to speak up when something's not right
Any relevant tickets (chemical handling, chainsaw, plant) are a bonus, not a must — we'll train you up
Ability to pass site access / security screening for government and defence sites where required
What's on offer
Full-time, ongoing role with a genuine path to build trade skills and tickets
Hands‐on training and mentoring from experienced crews
Well‐maintained gear and a business that takes safety seriously
A supportive, no‐nonsense team that gets stuck in together
