Job Description
Property Maintenance & Gardening — Team Leader / Experienced
n
Property Maintenance & Gardening — Team Leader or Ready to Step Up
n
Full-time | Northern Beaches, Sydney | Work vehicle provided
n
Two types of people will suit this role. You might already be running a maintenance crew and want to do it for a company that works to a higher standard. Or you might have solid hands‐on years behind you and be ready to take the step up into leading the work yourself.
n
Either way, this is a role with real scope — and a division that's growing around it.
n
About Beaches Group
n
Beaches Group is a building, landscaping and design company based on Sydney's Northern Beaches. We design and construct high-end homes and gardens — and then we look after them.
n
That's what makes this different from a standard mowing round. Our maintenance division exists so the properties we hand over keep improving year after year, for clients we've often known for a decade. You'll be caring for gardens our own team designed and built, on properties between Palm Beach and Mosman.
n
The role
n
You'll take ownership of a regular run of established client properties — the standard they're held to, the programme of works across the seasons, and the quality of what leaves site each day.
n
The work covers:
n
n
Garden and lawn care — mowing, edging, weeding, pruning, hedging and shaping
n
Seasonal programmes — mulching, planting, fertilising and soil conditioning
n
Monitoring plant health, and identifying pest, disease and irrigation issues before they become problems
n
Pressure washing and general presentation of driveways, decks, paths, walls and facades
n
General property maintenance and presentation works
n
Running the day — planning the run, managing materials, keeping vehicles and equipment in order
n
Directing and developing apprentices and team members on site
n




Professional, confident contact with long‐term clients
n
n
You'll report to an experienced team and have the systems, equipment and support to do the job properly.
n
What you need
n
n
Full working rights in Australia (we are not offering sponsorship for this role)
n
A current Australian driver's licence
n
Three or more years hands‐on in gardening, landscaping, grounds or property maintenance
n
Sound plant knowledge and a practical understanding of how to keep a garden healthy — pruning, soil, feeding, lawn care
n
The judgement to work unsupervised, set the standard and hold it
n
Confident, professional communication with clients
n
Genuine attention to detail — you notice the things other people walk past
n
n
What will set you apart
n
n
Experience leading a crew, running a maintenance round, or supervising apprentices
n
Cert III in Horticulture or Landscape Construction
n
Depth in pest and disease identification, soil science or fertilising programmes
n
Irrigation, garden lighting or landscape construction experience
n
Chemical handling ticket (AQF3), White Card, small machinery tickets
n
n
If you have the hands‐on years but haven't formally led a team yet, still apply. We'd rather back someone with the right judgement and standards into the step up than hire a title.
n
What we offer
n
n
Steady full‐time work with a well‐established local company
n
Work vehicle provided
n
Premium properties and quality equipment — not a run‐down operation
n
Structured systems, transparent expectations and supportive leadership
n
Real progression as the maintenance division grows — into horticultural specialisation, or into running the division
n
Support for further qualifications and tickets
n
A team that sticks around — our retention speaks for itself
n
Regular team social events, plus staff gym, office and warehouse access
