Landscape Casuals
Labourers and Qualified Landscapers
Above award wages.
Perfect for those landscapers out there who are now juggling more responsibilities (e.g. studying, parenting)
Love landscaping but can't commit full time? Thrive on teamwork but can also knuckle-down and self-motivate? We are on the lookout for suitably qualified landscapers for employment on a casual basis.

This is a physically demanding but also diverse position. Sometimes you may be required to run barrows, or mix paving mud, others you will be planting or mulching garden beds. Responsibilities and working autonomously will be dependent on the demonstrated experience of the successful candidates.
Essentials
Work well independently and in a team
Take work instructions from the site supervisors and managers
