Spray Technician Team Leader

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.

Your responsibilities will include, but not limited to:

• Oversee all spray programs and chemical applications across greens, tees, and fairways.

• Provide top-level expertise in safe chemical application (herbicides, pesticides, fungicides, fertilisers).

• Lead integrated pest and disease management solutions.

• Prepare, calibrate, and operate spraying equipment to expert standards.

• Use GPS and variable-rate systems for precision application.

• Drive daily operations, set clear standards, and lead by example.

• Mentor, support, and supervise crew members in the field.

• Allocate and monitor tasks, directing resources for optimal output and quality.

• Minimise downtime and actively improve team productivity.

What you'll bring to the role:

Given the expert and senior nature of this role, it is expected that the successful applicant will bring a strong track record in turf chemical management, with the ability to lead, teach, and work to the highest agronomic standards. The successful candidate will bring the following:

• A strong understanding of chemical application, pest/disease control, and spray equipment operation

• Engaging and positive team leadership and motivation

• Strong safety, compliance, and record-keeping skills

• Hands-on experience with technology-driven application practices

• Demonstrated in field experience working at a team leader level in a similar role.

As well as the following qualifications:

• Cert III in Sports Turf Management (AHC31319)

• Chemical User Accreditation (AHCCHM307 + AHCCHM304), Agricultural Chemical Skill Set (AHCSS00074) and State Chem Applicator Licence (Tasmania NRE)

An appointee to this role may be subject to pre-employment and ongoing screening checks.

Country Club Tasmanian is a proud part of Federal Hospitality (including Wrest Point, Safire, and Macq01 to name a few) and offers:

• Staff discounts across Federal Hospitality properties
