About the Role

We are seeking exceptional educators to inspire and shape the next generation of sports turf management professionals. This is an opportunity to bring your industry expertise to life, guiding students as they build practical skills, achieve nationally recognised qualifications, and progress toward rewarding careers across sports turf management, golf course maintenance, stadium and sporting field operations, turf production, groundskeeping, irrigation management, and related sectors.

You will apply current, industry-aligned knowledge to design and deliver engaging, high-quality learning experiences that reflect contemporary turfgrass management practices, sustainable turf maintenance techniques, and industry best practice.

We are looking for educators who combine extensive sports turf industry experience with a passion for teaching excellence. In return, you'll be supported to thrive in a collaborative environment that values industry currency, innovation, sustainability, and continuous improvement, helping to develop the skilled workforce that maintains and enhances Australia's sporting and recreational facilities.
