Landscape Apprentice

Certificate III in Parks and Gardens

Build the places people use every day.

Want a career that's outdoors, hands-on and different every day?

Muru Mittigar is looking for a motivated Landscape Apprentice to join our team and complete a nationally recognised Certificate III in Parks and Gardens while earning a full time wage.

This is more than mowing lawns or pulling weeds.

As a Landscape Apprentice, you'll work alongside experienced landscaping professionals delivering projects and maintenance works across some of Greater Sydney's most recognised public spaces, government assets, parks, reserves, streetscapes and community facilities. You'll learn practical skills, gain a trade qualification and build a career in an industry with strong long-term opportunities.

About Muru Mittigar

Muru Mittigar is an Aboriginal-owned social enterprise based in Penrith, Western Sydney.

While our head office is located in Penrith, our teams work across Greater Sydney delivering landscaping, environmental, conservation and land management services for government, council and commercial clients.

Every day is different. One week you may be improving public parks and community spaces. The next you could be working on landscaped precincts, environmental restoration projects or government-maintained assets across Sydney.

We strongly encourage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander applicants to apply.

Why This Apprenticeship?

Most people see parks, sports fields, streetscapes and public spaces without ever thinking about who builds and maintains them.

This apprenticeship gives you the opportunity to be part of the team that does.

You'll earn while you learn, gain a nationally recognised qualification, work on projects you can point to with pride and develop skills that can take you anywhere in the landscaping and environmental industries.
