The Role

You will be working on community infrastructure and commercial landscape construction projects across Queensland alongside Tier 1 builders and council clients.

The right person has strong all-round landscape construction skills and the work ethic and attitude to grow into a leading hand role over time.

• Turf, planting, and softscape installation across parks and sporting fields
• Irrigation and drainage installation and civil earthworks
• Timber structure construction and bespoke landscape features
• Operating plant and machinery as required on active construction sites

As you develop in the role there is a genuine pathway to move into a Leading Hand position, coordinating daily site activities, interpreting plans, and leading your own crew on major projects.

• Broad capability across paving, concreting, retaining walls, turf, irrigation, drainage, and civil works

A large, stable company with 800 staff, an Olympics-driven Queensland pipeline, and a structured career pathway from tradesperson to leading hand and beyond is a rare combination in the landscape construction trade. Our client invests in its people and the growth opportunities are real. For a landscape construction tradesperson ready to make the move and build something long term, Queensland and this role make a lot of sense.
