Job description

Ground Maintenance - Landscapes and Grounds Maintenance

Australian Facilities Group – Sydney CBD NSW

Multiple Positions Available – Sydney Metro & Western Sydney

Keen to get outdoors, learn from experienced crews, and grow your skills on the job? AFL is after reliable, switched-on Trades Assistants to join our grounds and landscape maintenance crews across Sydney.

You’ll be out on the tools every day — mowing, edging, mulching, pruning, weed and litter control, irrigation checks — keeping some of Sydney’s biggest sites looking sharp. You don't need years of experience. You need a solid work ethic, a good attitude, and the willingness to learn from people who know their stuff.

What you’ll be doing

Carrying out daily maintenance works to program — mowing, edging, mulching, pruning, weed control, irrigation checks, litter and waste removal

Setting up, operating and packing down plant, equipment and materials

Following SWMS, pre-starts and safe work practices on every site, every day

Reporting hazards, near-misses and equipment faults straight away

Using materials efficiently and keeping waste down

Capturing works-completed records and photos where needed

Working in with the crew and taking direction from your leading hand or supervisor

What you’ll bring

A strong, reliable work ethic and a genuine willingness to learn

Physical fitness — this is an active, outdoors role in all weather

A current driver’s licence (essential)

A safety-first mindset and the sense to speak up when something’s not right

Any relevant tickets (chemical handling, chainsaw, plant) are a bonus, not a must — we’ll train you up

Ability to pass site access / security screening for government and defence sites where required

What’s on offer

Full-time, ongoing role with a genuine path to build trade skills and tickets

Hands-on training and mentoring from experienced crews

Well-maintained gear and a business that takes safety seriously

A supportive, no-nonsense team that gets stuck in together
