This would suit an experienced gardening or landscaping operator looking to take on regular, established work for a temporary period, without having to find and build a new client base.





About the role You will be responsible for the regular grounds and garden maintenance of established residential and commercial properties, including:

Lawn mowing and edging

Whipper snipping

Weeding and garden-bed maintenance

Pruning and general garden care

General lawn and garden presentation

Blowing down paths, driveways and hard surfaces

Green waste management

General outdoor grounds maintenance

Identifying and reporting maintenance issues

Leaving each property clean, tidy and well presented

The run is already established, with regular maintenance requirements and an existing schedule. A handover will be provided to ensure a smooth transition.

About you We are looking for a reliable and experienced operator who:

Has previous experience in gardening, landscaping or grounds maintenance

Operates their own gardening/landscaping business or works as a genuine independent contractor

Holds a current ABN

Holds appropriate public liability insurance

Has a current Australian driver's licence

Is confident using lawn mowers, whipper snippers and other garden equipment

Can work independently and manage an established run

Takes pride in the quality and presentation of their work

Is reliable, punctual and well organised

Has good communication skills





Is professional and courteous when dealing with residential and commercial clients

Relevant horticulture qualifications, licences or industry tickets will be viewed favourably but are not essential where the applicant has strong practical experience.

What we provide

Established recurring maintenance run

Vehicle supplied

Tools and equipment supplied

Regular scheduled work

Established residential and commercial properties

Initial handover and familiarisation with the run

Direct communication with management

Straightforward subcontract arrangement

Short-term transition This is a temporary opportunity while the existing grounds-maintenance business is undergoing a sale/transition.

The successful contractor will be engaged to service the established run for the agreed transition period. The subcontract arrangement will conclude when the business sale/transition is completed.

The exact duration is not yet confirmed and will depend on the timing of the business transition. This prospect is therefore particularly suited to an established operator who is looking for additional regular work in the short to medium term.

Subcontract arrangement This opportunity is for a genuine independent contractor/business, rather than an employee position.

The contractor will be responsible for completing the agreed grounds-maintenance services to the required standard and will invoice for the services provided.

The service requirements, frequency of visits and agreed fee will be discussed with the successful contractor prior to commencement.
