Property Maintenance & Gardening -- Team Leader / Experienced

Job Description

Property Maintenance & Gardening — Team Leader / Experienced \n

Property Maintenance & Gardening — Team Leader or Ready to Step Up

\n

Full-time | Northern Beaches, Sydney | Work vehicle provided

\n

Two types of people will suit this role. You might already be running a maintenance crew and want to do it for a company that works to a higher standard. Or you might have solid hands‑on years behind you and be ready to take the step up into leading the work yourself.

\n

Either way, this is a role with real scope — and a division that’s growing around it.

About Beaches Group \n

Beaches Group is a building, landscaping and design company based on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. We design and construct high-end homes and gardens — and then we look after them.

\n

That’s what makes this different from a standard mowing round. Our maintenance division exists so the properties we hand over keep improving year after year, for clients we’ve often known for a decade. You’ll be caring for gardens our own team designed and built, on properties between Palm Beach and Mosman.

The role \n

You’ll take ownership of a regular run of established client properties — the standard they’re held to, the programme of works across the seasons, and the quality of what leaves site each day.

\n

The work covers:

\n

\n
• Garden and lawn care — mowing, edging, weeding, pruning, hedging and shaping
\n
• Seasonal programmes — mulching, planting, fertilising and soil conditioning
\n
• Monitoring plant health, and identifying pest, disease and irrigation issues before they become problems
\n
• Pressure washing and general presentation of driveways, decks, paths, walls and facades
\n
• General property maintenance and presentation works
\n
• Running the day — planning the run, managing materials, keeping vehicles and equipment in order
\n
• Directing and developing apprentices and team members on site
\n
• Professional, confident contact with long‑term clients
\n

\n

You’ll report to an experienced team and have the systems, equipment and support to do the job properly.

What you need \n

\n
• Full working rights in Australia (we are not offering sponsorship for this role)
\n
• A current Australian driver’s licence
\n
• Three or more years hands‑on in gardening, landscaping, grounds or property maintenance
\n
• Sound plant knowledge and a practical understanding of how to keep a garden healthy — pruning, soil, feeding, lawn care
\n
• The judgement to work unsupervised, set the standard and hold it
\n
• Confident, professional communication with clients
\n
• Genuine attention to detail — you notice the things other people walk past
\n

What will set you apart \n

\n
• Experience leading a crew, running a maintenance round, or supervising apprentices
\n
• Cert III in Horticulture or Landscape Construction
\n
• Depth in pest and disease identification, soil science or fertilising programmes
\n
• Irrigation, garden lighting or landscape construction experience
\n
• Chemical handling ticket (AQF3), White Card, small machinery tickets
\n

\n

If you have the hands‑on years but haven’t formally led a team yet, still apply. We’d rather back someone with the right judgement and standards into the step up than hire a title.

What we offer \n

\n
• Steady full‑time work with a well‑established local company
\n
• Work vehicle provided
\n
• Premium properties and quality equipment — not a run‑down operation
\n
• Structured systems, clear expectations and supportive leadership
\n
• Real progression as the maintenance division grows — into horticultural specialisation, or into running the division
\n
• Support for further qualifications and tickets
\n
• A team that sticks around — our retention speaks for itself
\n
• Regular team social events, plus staff gym, office and warehouse access
