About the role

Who We're Looking For

A sense of responsibility and ownership over your work, while being a team player who's always ready to help your mates
An understanding of health and safety practices relevant to the job
Great communication skills, with the ability to engage with the public if needed
A motivated, can-do attitude, and the drive to see the job through
What we can offer you
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 horticulture. We offer regular work hours, a performance-based salary that is reviewed annually, and an annual wellness benefits. You'll also receive an annual tool allowance and work phone.
