About the role

You'll be working solo across established maintenance clients and recent project work. You arrive with a work order already prepared. We diagnose and scope the job before you get there, so you're not quoting, not chasing money and not handling cash. Access is organised in advance. Client contact is minimal by design - you get in, do the work to a high standard, and get on with your day. If you're on site and you can see something we've missed, you tell us. You're not a set of hands - you're an operator we're trusting to notice things.

Key responsibilities
Reticulation - fault-finding, repairs, solenoids, valves, controllers, coverage and pressure
Lawn and soil - renovation, soil health, wetting agents, feeding programs, turf repair
Trees and shrubs - pruning, shaping, structural work, plant health
Transformations - garden makeovers, planting, mulching, reshaping beds

About you
Minimum 3 years' hands-on experience in gardening or landscaping
Able to fault-find and repair reticulation on day one - this is not negotiable
Competent across lawn and soil, trees and shrubs, and transformation work
Current WA driver's licence
Own vehicle fitted with a towball to hook up our trailer
A genuine self-starter - minimal supervision,



but someone who follows a system rather than doing it their own way
Understanding of regenerative horticulture - soil biology, water efficiency, reducing chemical dependence (a real bonus)
Cert III Horticulture or equivalent (though proven competency is valued)
