This is an active outdoor position in lawn and garden maintenance. You'll spend much of the day walking, standing, bending, lifting and operating machinery. The role involves working across premium residential properties, commercial sites, large grounds and specialist projects. Some days involve completing a recurring maintenance route, others may be spent renovating a lawn, restoring an overgrown property or working on a major commercial site. You'll finish most days with a transparent and visible result from your work. Townsville's heat and humidity are part of the working environment. You'll generally work as part of a small team while learning the role. As your skills develop, you may begin completing jobs independently and taking responsibility for your own recurring maintenance run.
