Career pathway with regular pay steps and part-time security

Uniform, tools and work vehicle supplied

About the role

This is a leading hand position, starting casual for the first three months with a pathway to a part-time role with guaranteed days. Typically 3–4 days a week, with adaptable days to suit the right applicant and the option to swap around rain. Each day starts at our base in Greenacre, where you'll pick up the work vehicle and head out to jobs across Sydney. You'll start working alongside the founder to learn our clients, standards and systems. Once you're confident, you'll run days solo and lead jobs, with an offsider provided on bigger workloads.

Key responsibilities
Maintaining residential gardens and lawns: mowing, edging, hedging, pruning
Planting, soil preparation, mulching and soft landscaping
Diagnosing plant health issues and recommending treatments
Communicating with clients on site and representing the business
Leading an offsider on larger jobs

About you
Solid plant knowledge: you know what to plant where, and why
A leadership mindset: switched on, takes ownership, makes good calls on site




Robust work ethic and positive energy you bring to the team every day
Keen to learn and grow with the business
Current driver's licence
Cert III in Horticulture or Landscaping highly regarded, not essential if your experience speaks for itself

About us

We're now ready to build our team and hand responsibility for those gardens to the right person. You'll be joining at the start of that growth, with a real say in how the team takes shape.
