Maintenance Team Leader
Lead a crew on some of Brisbane’s best private gardens.
Greenstart is built on quality, professionalism and an uncompromising attention to detail. Some details seem minor on their own, but together they add up to the bigger picture. So we’re after not only someone with strong knowledge and skill, but someone with the keen eye to match.
Greenstart looks after some of Brisbane’s best private gardens, from heritage homes to architectural showpieces, riverfronts to rooftop gardens. Properties most people only ever see from the street, kept to a standard you’d be proud to put your name to.
In this role you’ll lead a small crew looking after your own run of high-end residential gardens across Brisbane’s inner suburbs. You’ll set the standard on site, train and support the people around you, deal with clients directly, and be trusted with these gardens like they’re your own.
This is a hands-on position. It suits an experienced gardener ready to step into leadership, or someone already operating in one.

- Leading a small crew
- Mowing, hedging, pruning, weeding and general garden care
- Identifying pest and disease issues, and applying treatments
- Implementing fertiliser programs
- Planting and soft landscaping works
- Keeping jobs on time and on budget
- Holding work to the Greenstart standard
- Liaising with clients on site
- Training and mentoring team members
About You
- Minimum 4+ years’ experience in garden maintenance or landscaping
- Strong plant knowledge and horticultural fundamentals
- Proven ability to lead or supervise staff, or readiness to step into that role
- High attention to detail and pride in delivering premium work
- Physically fit, reliable, and able to work efficiently in a fast-paced environment
- Valid driver’s licence
- Certificate III in Horticulture (or studying) highly regarded
- Soft landscaping or small project experience an advantage
What We Offer
- Above-award pay based on experience and leadership capability — $80,000–$90,000

- Tax return paid
- Full-time role averaging 38 hours per week
