Ground Maintenance Operative

**About Us**:
Munros Maintenance is a small Garden Maintenance/Landscaping business based in Dumbarton, that mainly carries out most of our work in the Helensburgh Peninsula area. The business was started by myself, Conor Munro, back in March of 2022. We offer a wide range of regular services that cover most aspects of outdoor maintenance work involved in keeping folks gardens looking their best all year round. Since beginning, the business has steadily grown to the point where we have some fantastic regular garden maintenance commitments for private homeowners, and local company ground work contracts that we maintain on a fortnightly basis. I have always prided myself on carrying out high quality work and maintaining a tight organised schedule which has contributed to seeing the business grow massively over the past year. At the moment, it is myself and one other employee, but I am looking for someone to join the team and become part of the journey in helping my business grow and keep up with demand.

**Job Role and Responsibilities**:

- Some of the jobs you will be expected to carry out will be: Grass Cutting, Hedge Cutting, Weeding, Pruning work, Topiary cutting, Weed Spraying and Powerwashing.
- We also occasionally take on landscaping work where you will be expected to help out with fencing projects, ground preparation work, installing patios and odd jobs that come up from time to time.
- You will be responsible for operating all the machines that we currently have in order to carry out the work for our customers.
- You will be expected to interact with customers from time to time where necessary in order for all of our customers to generally have an idea of who is in their garden doing work.
- You’ll be expected to drive the van on occasion between jobs to help with the day-to-day efficiency of the works, so a drivers license is essential to have.
- You will be responsible for looking after your own well-being and ensuring you carry out the day to day works in a safe and responsible manner.
- You will be expected to work in all weather conditions, heavy rain, hot weather, cold weather, etc. The only exception being extreme weather conditions putting a halt to carrying out work safely.

**What We Offer**:

- A formal contract with a specific salary and automatic enrolment onto a company pension scheme.
- The option for working overtime, with no expectation to work weekends unless specifically agreed upon by yourself.
- Full uniform provided (besides footwear). Such as work trousers, company tops and full waterproofs.
- Training on all of the tools to ensure that you are comfortable with operating them in a safe and efficient manner. You will also be given information about the maintenance of tools and common issues that pop up during their operation so you are aware of when problems occur.
- Consistent teaching in regards to the work we carry out to ensure that you learn new skills and gain valuable knowledge and experience.
- 28 days paid holiday per year.
- Many opportunities to grow and progress with the growth of the business into more important roles. With this, the opportunity to have salary increases with steps up in responsibility and output.
- Work output related bonuses which will be discussed during contract discussions.

**In Summary, Who Are We Looking For?**

In summary, we are looking for someone who loves a graft, already enjoys the thought of working outside, is consistent and honest. Experience does add some value into me considering hiring you for this position, but if you are someone who has never done this before but knows they work damn hard and always wants to learn something and get better, then that is worth more to me. I take the running of my business very seriously, so I try not to take myself too seriously so that this is a great place to work where we can all have a good laugh but get plenty of work done at the same time. Ideally, I am looking for someone who wants to commit to the job for some time to come and grow with the company. I want this to be a joyful place to work where everything is fair and folk feel valued. It is not lost on me how tough the job can be, so the more you give to me, the more I promise to give to you because that’s how I like to do things. The business is only going to grow from here, so if you feel you meet the criteria I have laid out and enjoy the thought of working in some of the most beautiful places in the area, out in the sunshine operating nice pieces of kit. This will likely be the job for you.

Thanks a lot.

Conor.
