Beyond that, we are passionate about our local community and, behind the scenes, we have a wide variety of opportunities and career paths for all. We have a very defined purpose: to act for a winning team, culture and community. We achieve this by ensuring we are courageous in the pursuit of progress, we champion our community and each other, and that we do the right thing (even when no one is looking).

  • Ensuring health and safety - Managing and checking facilities, plant, buildings and equipment to ensure safe working practices and compliance to health and safety standards.
  • Equipment management - Management of all maintenance, servicing and storage of equipment.
  • Pitch maintenance - Assisting in the renovation of a hybrid and natural pitch using equipment associated with this process e.g., tractor and trailer work, sand spreading and seeding.
  • Operating machinery - Wide use of machinery in the maintenance and renovation of grassed areas - such as ride-on, pedestrian mowers, turf cutters, edgers and scarification equipment.
  • Trend Analysis - Gathering and recording information to develop trend data and analyse past usage.

What we are looking for

  • Qualified to NVQ level 3 or above in green keeping and groundsman ship or equivalent.
  • Spraying certificates PA1, 2 and 6 (Desirable)
  • Experience in all aspects of grounds maintenance including hybrid, artificial surfaces and a working knowledge of horticulture and gardens.
  • Experience in the use of turf care equipment.
  • Competent IT Skills
  • Experience in the management of pitch lighting systems.
  • Competent management and maintenance of irrigation systems
  • Experience of managing teams of operatives, planning and organising workloads, allocating duties and monitoring performance
  • Have a good mechanical knowledge of equipment and be able to assist with routine maintenance.
  • Ability to use a wide range of turf care equipment.

Please note: a Full UK driving license will be required for this role.

Why choose us 

At CBS Arena, we want everyone to feel a sense of trust and belonging, so we are proud of both our stadium, our relationship with the club and our values, also what we offer to our employees. You will receive:

  • An exciting reward and recognition scheme
  • Generous holiday allowance which increases with your length of service
