The Opportunity

We are recruiting for an experienced Landscaper to join an established specialist company providing Japanese knotweed and invasive plant removal services across the South East.

This is a newly created position, offering an excellent opportunity for someone with experience in both soft and hard landscaping to help develop a new service within the business.

Working primarily at domestic properties, you'll be responsible for restoring gardens and outdoor areas following invasive weed removal. The main duties will involve fencing, turfing, patio repairs and general landscaping, ensuring all work is completed to a high standard.

Initially, you'll work alongside the existing site operatives, assisting with invasive weed clearance when required. As the landscaping service develops, the aim is for you to take greater ownership of projects, eventually becoming the main point of contact for customers.

This would suit an experienced, hands-on Landscaper who takes pride in their work and is looking for an opportunity to progress.

Key Responsibilities

• Carry out soft and hard landscaping at domestic properties.
• Reinstate gardens following Japanese knotweed and other invasive plant removal.
• Install and repair fencing, including posts and panels.
• Prepare ground and lay turf to a high standard.
• Carry out patio and paving repairs.
• Complete general garden reinstatement and landscaping work.
• Assist site operatives with invasive weed clearance when required.
• Ensure work is completed safely, professionally and to a high standard.
• Communicate professionally with customers and colleagues.
• As the role develops, take responsibility for organising and overseeing landscaping projects.

Requirements

• Previous practical experience in both soft and hard landscaping.
• Strong fencing, turfing and patio repair skills.
• Ability to work independently and produce a high standard of finish.
• Good understanding of ground preparation and landscaping techniques.
• Reliable, organised and able to manage daily workloads.
• Professional and approachable when working at customers' homes.
• Willingness to assist with invasive weed clearance when required.
• Flexible with travel across the South East.

Experience working with invasive weeds is not essential.

Working Hours & Location

Monday to Friday, approximately 8.30am to 4.00pm, based on a 40-hour working week.

The role covers the South East, predominantly around the M25 corridor.

Ideally, candidates will live within reasonable travelling distance of Woking, although attendance at the company's yard will only be required occasionally.

Very occasional overnight stays may be necessary for projects involving longer travel distances. Accommodation and food expenses will be covered.

What's On Offer

• £33,000 starting salary.
• Permanent, full-time position.
• Company van and fuel card.
• All tools, equipment and PPE provided.
• Company mobile phone.
• 23 days annual leave plus bank holidays, increasing with service by up to five additional days.
• Profit sharing scheme after one year's service.
• Opportunity to develop and eventually take ownership of the company's landscaping projects.
• Career progression within an established and growing business.
