(Urgent Search) Spray Technician Team Leader

Overview

About Country Club:

At Country Club Tasmania, we’re building something truly special — a new championship golf course designed to rival some of the world’s best. Created by globally respected architect Robin Gibson, our new par 72, 18-hole Championship Course will be situated within a beautifully landscaped parkland precinct, inspired by some of the finest courses in North America and the UK. Make no mistake, what’s coming is a landmark in every sense of the word. It’s a course that rewards thoughtful play and invites golfers to return again and again. Scheduled to open in Summer 2026/27, it will offer a visually stunning and challenging experience and we’re now looking for a motivated and talented Team Leader to help prepare and maintain the course to premium tournament standards.

What you can expect in a day in the role:

As Spray Technician Team Leader, you’ll take ownership of all spray operations across the golf course. Working alongside the Course Superintendent and Assistant Superintendent, you’ll lead a small team in safe and effective chemical applications, pest and disease management, and continual turf improvement. You’ll set high standards for presentation, precision, and safety while mentoring others to build their own technical capability. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who takes pride in world-class playing surfaces and wants to be part of establishing a landmark course from its first season.
