Ready to Take the Next Step in Your Landscaping Career?

We're looking for a Qualified Landscaper or experienced 3rd/4th Year Landscape Apprentice to join our growing, award-winning team on Sydney's Northern Beaches.

Whether you're nearing the end of your apprenticeship or already qualified and looking for your next opportunity, we're interested in people who take pride in their work, have a solid understanding of landscape construction and want to keep developing their skills.

For the right person, we're offering more than just a job — we're offering a genuine opportunity to develop into a Foreman or Site Supervisor role as our business continues to grow.

A Little About Us

Motion Landscape Design & Construction (formerly Motion Maintenance) is an award-winning landscaping company specialising in high-quality structural landscaping, landscape construction, garden maintenance and complete outdoor transformations.

We're proud to have been recognised as a 2025 Australian Small Business Champion in Landscaping, along with receiving local business awards for our work.

Our projects range from detailed residential garden renovations through to large-scale structural landscaping projects, including retaining walls, paving, decking, drainage, concreting and custom outdoor living spaces.

We're a close-knit, down-to-earth team who enjoy what we do. We take workmanship seriously, look after each other and believe in creating an workplace where everyone has the opportunity to learn, contribute and grow.

What You'll Be Doing

You'll be working alongside our experienced landscape construction team on a variety of residential projects throughout the Northern Beaches and surrounding areas.

Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:

- Structural landscaping, hardscaping and general landscape construction.
- Constructing retaining walls, paving, tiling, decking and timber structures.
- Drainage, stormwater, concreting and site preparation.
- Turfing, planting, soil preparation and general garden construction.
- Reading and interpreting landscape plans, measurements and levels.
- Operating hand tools, power tools and construction machinery safely.
- Assisting with materials, site organisation and project preparation.




- Working collaboratively with the team to deliver projects efficiently and to a high standard.
- Undertaking garden maintenance and property improvement works when required.

As your skills develop, you'll also have opportunities to take on more responsibility, including coordinating smaller tasks, mentoring junior team members, organising site activities and developing the leadership skills needed to run projects independently.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who has a good foundation in landscaping and wants to build on it.

Essential:

- Qualified Landscaper (Certificate III in Landscape Construction) OR currently completing your 3rd or 4th year Landscape Construction Apprenticeship.
- Practical experience in structural landscaping or landscape construction.
- Current White Card and driver's licence.
- Confidence using common construction tools and equipment.
- Reliable, punctual and physically capable of performing onsite work.
- Good communication skills and ability to work within a team.
- Strong attention to detail and pride in your workmanship.
- Willingness to learn, take initiative and develop professionally.

Highly Regarded:

- Experience with retaining walls, paving, concreting, drainage or decking.
- Ability to read plans, establish levels and interpret construction details.
- Experience operating excavators, mini loaders or other machinery.
- Previous experience supervising junior staff or coordinating onsite tasks.
- An interest in progressing towards a leadership or Foreman position.

You don't need to know everything or have previous management experience. We're looking for someone with the right attitude, existing trade skills and potential to grow with our business.

Why Join Motion Landscapes?

✅ Competitive Pay – Hourly rate based on your experience, qualifications and capabilities.

✅ Consistent Full-Time Work – A steady pipeline of residential landscaping projects across the Northern Beaches.

✅ Award-Winning Team – Work alongside people who care about delivering quality projects and take pride in what they do.

✅ Supportive Team Environment – We're a friendly, hardworking crew who value teamwork, communication and a positive attitude onsite.

Who Would Suit This Role?

This role would be a great fit for someone who enjoys working outdoors, likes a challenge and wants to be part of a team that produces work they're genuinely proud of.

You might be a 3rd or 4th year apprentice looking to finish your training with a company that offers long-term opportunities, or a qualified landscaper who's ready to start developing the skills needed to lead a crew.

Either way, we value attitude, initiative and willingness to improve just as much as experience.
