Essential
  • A full UK driving licence.
  • Grounds maintenance experience.
  • Experience driving ride on mowers and/or tractors
  • Knowledge of Health and Safety requirements and safe working practices.
  • Strong communication and customer service skills.
  • The ability to work independently while contributing effectively as part of a team.
  • A flexible, proactive approach and confidence using mobile technology to record and manage work activities.


Desirable
  • A recognised forklift qualification, such as NPORS, RTITB or an equivalent accreditation, with experience operating a forklift truck in a commercial environment.
  • PA1 and PA6 spraying qualifications.
  • A chainsaw licence.
  • Training or practical experience using ride-on mowers, tractors, strimmers and brush cutters.
  • Knowledge of Planned Preventative Maintenance activities.


We welcome applications from a diverse range of candidates.
If you have most but not all of these skills and experiences, we encourage you to apply. We may be able to offer development or training to support your growth.
