The Role
This role suits someone who's technically skilled but also enjoys the creative side of landscaping. You'll work with natural timber, custom designs, and projects that require you to think on your feet. No two days are the same, and that's exactly how we like it. You'll work on commercial playground and landscape projects throughout the state - some local, some requiring short stays away from home (with working away allowances).
