Garden Maintenance Team Leader

Full-time | Burwood depot start/finish | Work-life balance locked in

Do you want real work-life balance, quality tools, and gardens that sharpen your horticulture skills?

Tired of feeling like a cleaner instead of a gardener? Ready to lead and make gardens spectacular?

Who We Are

Gardenridge runs a little differently. We care about excellence in horticulture, we value clients, and we value our team.

You will start and finish at our Burwood depot. We typically work in teams of two, with clear schedules so you know where you are going and for how long. You work an 8-hour day, then head home with time for the things that make you happy.

The Role

We are hiring our next Garden Maintenance Team Leader. You will own the presentation and health of high-end gardens, plan maintenance, lead a small team, and keep high standards.

We provide you with well serviced equipment.

If you hit a tricky situation, the team is there to support you.

We share knowledge so everyone keeps getting better.

You will:

  • Lead a two-person crew and run the day from depot to depot
  • Diagnose and treat garden issues across the seasons
  • Perform precision hedge and topiary pruning, rose pruning, mulching, feeding, pest and disease control
  • Troubleshoot basic irrigation issues and keep systems running
  • Operate and care for hedgers, edgers, mowers, blowers, chainsaws
  • Maintain tidy records and communicate with management
  • Communicate clearly with the team and clients

You Bring

  • Certificate III in Horticulture and 5 years industry experience
  • Strong plant, weed, pest knowledge and a sharp eye for detail
  • Confidence in planning and executing maintenance regimes
  • Competence with the common power tools listed above, plus basic servicing know-how
  • A calm, humble leadership style and solid teamwork
  • Physical fitness for an 'on the tools' role
  • Pride and care in your workmanship
  • Irrigation know-how at a practical level

Why Join Gardenridge

  • Up to $80K base
  • Company vehicle for work duties and commuting
  • Stable hours: consistent 8-hour days, start and finish at Burwood
  • Great crew culture: beers, BBQ, and banter
  • Growth: diverse gardens that develop your horticulture craft

If Gardenridge sounds like the place for you, we would love to hear from you.

We are looking for someone to start ASAP and can accommodate notice periods for the right person.
