Job summary

Proud of your trade? Build quality landscapes across Sydney with Whitlam. Bring your skills, take ownership and grow with the business.

Build something you’re proud of

There’s a good feeling in standing back at the end of a job and knowing you’ve done it properly. The paving is sharp. The levels are right. The space looks completely different from when you started.

If you take pride in that, we’d like to meet you.

At Whitlam Landscapes, we deliver commercial landscape construction across Sydney. Our ambition is to build a company that builders trust, tradespeople are proud to work for, and apprentices can build a future in.

We’re looking for a Landscape Tradesman who wants to help us get there.

Someone who enjoys the work, brings energy to the site and gets satisfaction from doing a job well.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll work alongside our foremen and crews, putting your skills to use across hard and soft landscaping:

• Reading plans, setting out works and getting levels and falls right.
• Building paving, edging, retaining walls and other landscape elements.
• Installing drainage, irrigation, soils, garden beds, plants and turf.
• Taking ownership of your allocated work, from preparation through to the finish.
• Helping labourers and apprentices develop their skills and work safely.

There’s variety in the work and plenty of opportunity to show what you can do.

The kind of person we want on our team

You know your trade, and you’re keen to keep getting better.

You turn up ready, think ahead and help keep the job moving. You look after your tools, your work and the people around you. When something needs fixing, you take responsibility and help sort it out.

You can have a laugh with the crew while keeping your standards high.

You’ll also need:

• A landscape construction qualification or solid equivalent trade experience.
• Practical skills across hard and soft landscaping.
• Confidence reading drawings and using a laser level.
• A current White Card, driver’s licence and reliable transport to Sydney sites.

Commercial site experience and machinery skills will be highly regarded.

What you can build with us

We want Whitlam to be a place where good tradespeople can see a future.

That means giving you responsibility, listening to your practical ideas and helping you develop as the business grows.

• Pay based on your skills and experience, plus super.
• Varied commercial projects where you can use and develop your trade.
• Opportunity to take on more responsibility and progress towards leading hand or foreman.

If you’re ambitious, tell us where you want to go. We’d like to work towards that with you.
