Job description

6am-2pm Monday to Friday | No weekend roster | Permanent full-time

Looking for a landscape maintenance role where you're trusted to get on with the job, finish early and still have opportunities to develop your career?

We're recruiting for a well-established and growing commercial and industrial landscape contractor looking for an experienced Landscape Maintenance Crew Member to join their Brisbane team.

This is not residential garden maintenance.

You'll be working exclusively across commercial and industrial landscapes, including industrial estates, warehouses and distribution facilities, business parks, schools and commercial developments.

Your primary focus will be landscape maintenance, but if you're interested in broadening your experience, there's also the opportunity to get involved with the company's landscape projects and soft-landscape construction team.

What's on offer?

• $40 per hour + super, depending on experience and capability
• 6:00am-2:00pm, Monday to Friday
• No weekend roster
• Permanent, full-time position
• Contracted maintenance portfolio providing year-round work
• Paid day off for your birthday
• Uniform and PPE supplied
• Company vehicle and plant provided where required
• Tickets, licences and relevant training supported and funded
• Genuine progression to Leading Hand, Foreman or Supervisor
• Supportive, approachable management
• A down-to-earth team with a no big egos culture

The role

You will work across an established portfolio of commercial and industrial sites throughout South East Queensland.

This isn't a role where someone needs to stand over you all day.

We're looking for someone capable of taking responsibility for their allocated sites, planning the work, delivering them to a high standard and identifying anything that needs attention.

Day to day, you'll be involved in:

• Commercial and industrial landscape maintenance
• Zero-turn, ride-on and push mowing
• Edging, brushcutting and blowing
• Hedging and pruning
• Weed and pest control
• Plant health and landscape presentation
• Turf maintenance
• Basic irrigation checks and repairs
• Operating and maintaining landscape machinery and equipment
• Completing site reporting, checklists and before/after photos via phone or tablet
• Liaising professionally with clients and site contacts
• Supporting less experienced crew members when required

You'll also have the opportunity to step across and assist with soft-landscape construction and project work, including planting, irrigation, mulching, turf and landscape installations.

Requirements

Attitude is just as important as ability.

We're looking for someone who's reliable, takes pride in their work, can work independently and is the sort of person others enjoy having in the crew.

Ideally, you'll bring:

• Around 3+ years' commercial, industrial or body corporate landscape maintenance experience
• Good plant identification and practical horticultural knowledge
• Confidence operating zero-turn and ride-on mowers and other landscape equipment
• A current Queensland driver's licence and confidence towing a plant trailer
• White Card
• ACDC licence, or willingness to obtain one
• Good attention to detail and pride in site presentation
• Confidence dealing professionally with clients and site contacts
• Ability to use a smartphone or tablet for daily job reporting
• The ability to work independently and manage your day

A Certificate III in Horticulture or Landscape Construction, irrigation experience, chainsaw, EWP, skid steer or loader tickets would all be well regarded, but aren't essential.

Benefits

More than just a maintenance role

The business has two growing areas - commercial landscape maintenance and landscape projects - which creates genuine opportunities for the right person.

If you enjoy maintenance and want to stay on the tools, there's plenty of ongoing work. If you'd like to progress into a Leading Hand, Foreman or Supervisor position, there's a genuine pathway to do so.

And if you'd like more variety, you'll have the opportunity to work alongside the projects team and gain further exposure to landscape installation and construction.

Good pay. Early finishes. No weekend roster. Year-round work. A good crew and genuine opportunities to progress.
