City Venue Management (CVM) has been appointed to manage a number of aquatic and leisure facilities across the City of Gold Coast, and we're recruiting a full-time Grounds Maintenance Officer to keep the grounds across our Gold Coast sites looking their best.

If you take pride in a well-kept lawn, love being outdoors and would rather be on the move than behind a desk, this is the role for you.

About the Role

You'll travel between our Gold Coast sites on a regular rotation, independently managing scheduled grounds maintenance so every facility is safe, clean and well presented. We'll provide a company ute, trailer, ride-on mower and all the tools and equipment you need. You'll work closely with Facility Managers and the Project Manager to identify what each site needs.

Key responsibilities may include:

- Mowing, edging, trimming and general lawn maintenance across all CVM Gold Coast sites
- Maintaining garden beds, including weeding, pruning, planting and mulching
- Keeping pathways, outdoor areas and landscaped areas clean, safe and well presented
- Working to an agreed site rotation and maintenance schedule
- Safely operating and maintaining the ute, trailer, ride-on mower, brush cutters, blowers and other equipment
- Safely using and storing chemicals, fertilisers and other grounds products
- Identifying and reporting hazards and maintenance needs, and escalating works outside the role, such as specialist tree works

About You

- Experience in grounds maintenance, gardening, landscaping, horticulture or a similar role
- Experience operating ride-on mowers and other grounds maintenance equipment
- Good knowledge of lawn, garden and general grounds care
- Organised and self-driven, able to plan a schedule across multiple sites and work independently




- Strong attention to detail and pride in presentation, with a safety-first approach
- Comfortable with physically demanding outdoor work in varying weather
- A good communicator who works well with Facility Managers and site teams
- A genuine passion for the outdoors and an active lifestyle — and just as keen to escape the traditional office environment as we are to have you on the team

A Blue Card, current Australian driver licence and the ability to safely operate a vehicle and trailer are required, along with any licences or competencies needed for the equipment and chemicals you'll use. A Certificate III in Horticulture, Landscaping or a related discipline is highly regarded.
