  • Ability to work outdoors in all weather conditions.
  • Team players who take pride in their work.
  • A full UK driving licence (preferred).
  • Experience in commercial grounds maintenance, use of professional equipment, and/or PA1/PA6 certification (an advantage for Operative and Team Leader roles, not essential for Trainees).

What We Offer

  • Opportunities for training, development, and career progression.
  • Supportive and friendly working environment.
  • Modern equipment and ongoing investment in sustainable, battery-operated machinery.
