Tired of production-line landscaping, or stuck doing maintenance when you want to build? This is a chance to join a small, high-end residential design and construct business where quality comes first and your work actually gets noticed.

• Keeping every site clean, tidy and well presented for clients

What's in it for you

• $80,000 to $100,000 + super, depending on skills and experience
• Fuel card, then working toward a vehicle
• Monday to Friday, typically 7am to 3:30pm, with some flexibility around project scheduling
• Local work in the inner east with short travel between jobs
• A small team where your ideas and input genuinely count
• Real room to grow, with the opportunity to step up and lead on site as the business expands
• A supportive, inclusive crew with a good sense of humour (and an appreciation for good food)

Requirements
