Gardening & Landscaping

Location: Queensland
Type: Full-time
Salary: 78000-86000 per year

About the role

Ready to lead a garden maintenance team without giving up the hands-on work you enjoy?

This is an opportunity to take ownership of a small crew, work across exceptional residential gardens and join an established landscaping business that backs its people with quality equipment, good systems and genuine support.

You’ll have responsibility for your team and the standard of work delivered, while still being hands-on and doing what you enjoy.

Permanent, full-time positionMonday to Friday – keep your weekends

More Than Just Leading a Crew

Good Team Leaders need good people around them.

You’ll be joining a landscaping business that places just as much importance on its people as it does on the standard of its work.

There’s a genuine family feel within the company. People know each other, help each other out and are encouraged to speak up, contribute ideas and take ownership of what they do.

The expectations around quality are high, but you’ll be given the equipment, systems and support to deliver it.

It’s a friendly, down-to-earth environment where good work is recognised and people who want to develop are given opportunities to do so.

Your Role

You’ll take responsibility for a small maintenance crew and the day-to-day delivery of quality garden maintenance across high-end residential properties throughout Brisbane.

This is very much a hands-on leadership role.

You’ll be working alongside your team while also making sure jobs run efficiently, standards are maintained and clients receive the level of service they expect.

Your responsibilities will include:

Leading and motivating a small garden maintenance crew
Organising the day and keeping your team on track
Maintaining high-end residential gardens
Pruning, hedging and detailed plant care
Mowing, edging and presentation work
Planting, mulching and seasonal garden maintenance
Weed and pest management
Monitoring plant health and identifying maintenance requirements
Ensuring each property is presented to a consistently high standard
Communicating professionally with clients when required
Training and mentoring less experienced team members
Maintaining safe and efficient work practices

Requirements

What We’re Looking For

You might already be running a garden maintenance crew, or you could be an experienced gardener who has naturally become the person others turn to and is ready to officially step into leadership.

Either way, you’ll need strong practical garden maintenance skills and the confidence to take responsibility for both people and outcomes.
Ideally, you’ll bring:

Solid experience in garden or landscape maintenance
Strong horticultural and plant knowledge
Experience leading, supervising or mentoring others
Strong pruning, hedging and garden-care skills
Excellent attention to detail
Ability to plan and organise your team's workload
Confidence communicating with clients and team members
A positive, hands-on leadership style
Current QLD driver’s licence

A horticultural qualification would be highly regarded, but practical experience, leadership ability and the right attitude are equally important.

Benefits

Take Ownership of Your Next Role

If you enjoy being on the tools but are ready for more responsibility, this gives you the opportunity to lead without becoming stuck behind a desk.

You’ll have your own crew, quality equipment, a company vehicle and the support of an established business behind you.

And, if you want to continue progressing beyond Team Leader, there are opportunities to develop further within the business over time.

If you’re looking for a leadership role where quality work, good people and a strong team culture still matter, we’d like to hear from you.
