Mower Operator

**Job no**: 6MHTN

**Category**: Gardening & Landscaping

At Green by Nature (formerly Recreational Services), we're proud to be the go-to team for the Hastings District Council, helping keep the region’s parks, playgrounds, and public spaces looking their best. Since 1992, we've grown into a leading name in the industry, and we now have 1,500 team members across New Zealand and Australia. We're passionate about making a positive change within the community and as we continue to grow, we'd love for you to join us on this journey

**What You’ll Do**

As a Mower Operator, you'll take charge of mowing various parks, reserves, and sports fields across Hastings and Havelock. Your day-to-day tasks will include:

- Regular mowing with a range of ride-on mowers to keep our public spaces in top shape
- Performing weed eating, edging, and push mowing as needed to maintain a pristine finish in the finer areas
- Carrying out basic routine maintenance on equipment to keep everything running smoothly
- Ensuring fields meet the highest standards of presentation and align with client expectations

**Who We’re Looking For**

Ideally, we’d love someone with experience using a range of small plant equipment and/or ride-on mowers, but that’s not a deal-breaker. If you have a strong work ethic and a passion for working outdoors, you'd be a great fit. You should also have:

- A full, current driver’s license with manual capability (Class 2 is a plus)
- A love for working outdoors and pride in a job well done
- Physical fitness to handle the demands of sports field maintenance
- Basic computer skills for operating equipment and reporting
- A strong commitment to following and upholding our health and safety standards
- A positive, can-do attitude with a willingness to learn and grow

**What We Offer**

As part of our team, you'll have the opportunity to work with other professionals, gain further knowledge and experience, and develop your career in green space maintenance. We offer regular work hours, a performance-based salary that is reviewed annually, and a $300 wellness benefits. You'll also receive an annual tool allowance and work phone.
