Property Maintenance & Gardening — Team Leader / Experienced Property Maintenance & Gardening — Team Leader or Ready to Step Up

Full time | Northern Beaches, Sydney | Work vehicle provided

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.

Either way, this is a role with real scope — and a division that’s growing around it.

About Beaches Group 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.

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.

The role 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.

The work covers:

Garden and lawn care — mowing, edging, weeding, pruning, hedging and shaping

Seasonal programmes — mulching, planting, fertilising and soil conditioning

Monitoring plant health, and identifying pest, disease and irrigation issues before they become problems

Pressure washing and general presentation of driveways, decks, paths, walls and facades

General property maintenance and presentation works

Running the day — planning the run, managing materials, keeping vehicles and equipment in order

Directing and developing apprentices and team members on site





Professional, confident contact with long‑term clients

You’ll report to an experienced team and have the systems, equipment and support to do the job properly.

What you need

Full working rights in Australia (we are not offering sponsorship for this role)

A current Australian driver’s licence

Three or more years hands‑on in gardening, landscaping, grounds or property maintenance

Sound plant knowledge and a practical understanding of how to keep a garden healthy — pruning, soil, feeding, lawn care

The judgement to work unsupervised, set the standard and hold it

Confident, professional communication with clients

Genuine attention to detail — you notice the things other people walk past

What will set you apart

Experience leading a crew, running a maintenance round, or supervising apprentices

Cert III in Horticulture or Landscape Construction

Depth in pest and disease identification, soil science or fertilising programmes

Irrigation, garden lighting or landscape construction experience

Chemical handling ticket (AQF3), White Card, small machinery tickets

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.

What we offer

Steady full‑time work with a well‑established local company

Work vehicle provided

Premium properties and quality equipment — not a run‑down operation

Structured systems, clear expectations and supportive leadership

Real progression as the maintenance division grows — into horticultural specialisation, or into running the division

Support for further qualifications and tickets

A team that sticks around — our retention speaks for itself

Regular team social events, plus staff gym, office and warehouse access
