You will also have:

  • Solid financial skills, including developing targets, maintaining budgets, and analysing operational initiatives, with a proven ability to manage projects, deliver within time, and budget constraints
  • Strong written, computer, and reportwriting skills. Additionally, you should be an effective communicator, capable of establishing strong relationships internally and with external clients
  • Exceptional people management skills, including experience in recruitment, performance management, engagement, training, and development
  • A positive attitude toward working safely and a commitment to upholding our company's health and safety culture
  • A qualification in either Horticulture or Sports Turf Management would be advantageous
  • A full, New Zealand driver's license with the ability to drive a manual vehicle

Why Join Us?

  • Be part of a business that has been an industry leader for over 30 years
  • Contribute to a rewarding role, helping upkeep the community
  • Annual tool allowance and wellness benefit
  • Tools of the trade, including a work vehicle
  • Performancebased salary reviewed annually
  • Internal and external opportunities for learning and development
