Hours: Part-time – approximately 3 days per week (days TBC)

Job type: Part-time, Permanent

Rise Resources is looking for an enthusiastic and reliable Grounds Maintenance Operative to join our growing team based near Burton upon Trent.

We are a privately owned business providing commercial grounds maintenance services across Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Staffordshire.

This is a varied, practical outdoor role suited to someone who enjoys working as part of a small team, takes pride in doing a good job and is comfortable working outdoors throughout the year.

Previous grounds maintenance experience would be an advantage, but we are also interested in reliable people with the right attitude who are willing to learn.

The role

Your duties will include:

• Grass cutting and strimming
• Hedge cutting and trimming
• Shrub and planted-bed maintenance
• Leaf clearance and general site clearance
• Basic fencing and grounds repairs
• Assisting with farmyard duties when required
• Operating grounds maintenance machinery and equipment
• Carrying out daily checks and basic maintenance on machinery, including greasing and tyre checks
• Completing required work and maintenance records
• Driving company light vehicles and, where appropriately experienced, towing trailers
• Ensuring work is completed to the required site and client specification
• Working safely and in accordance with company Health & Safety procedures

Where appropriately qualified, duties may also include chemical weed control and herbicide application using equipment such as knapsack sprayers.

What we're looking for

A full UK driving licence is essential, as you will need to be able to travel to our Newborough base and may be required to drive company vehicles.

Experience in grounds maintenance, landscaping, agriculture or a similar outdoor role is desirable but not essential, as training can be provided.

The following would be advantageous:

• Experience towing trailers
• PA1/PA6 spraying certificates
• First Aid qualification
• Chainsaw qualification
• Experience operating grounds maintenance machinery

Most importantly, we're looking for someone who is reliable, practical, hardworking and willing to become a valued member of the team.

Hours

The position is expected to be approximately 3 days per week, with the normal working days to be agreed.

There may be opportunities for additional hours during our busier periods and occasional weekend work if mutually agreed.

As grounds maintenance is seasonal, working requirements may vary throughout the year.

Pay

£13.00 per hour, depending on experience, qualifications and the level of responsibility you are able to undertake.

There is scope for pay progression as skills, qualifications and responsibilities increase.

Interested?

If you're looking for a varied outdoor role with an established and growing local business, we'd be pleased to hear from you.
