• Identifying plant species and selecting suitable plants based on season, sunlight and landscape design

• Meeting with clients to discuss garden improvements, upgrades and ongoing maintenance

• Sourcing plants and materials for one-off projects and quotations

• Coordinating one-off gardening and landscaping projects

• Maintaining gardening equipment and helping improve operational processes across the team

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience leading or supervising gardening or landscaping teams

• Qualification in Horticulture

• Strong horticultural knowledge including plant identification, lawn care, pest management and chemical application

• Positive, customer-focused attitude with excellent communication skills

• Ability to motivate, coach and develop others

• Highly organised with a proactive, solutions-focused approach

• Current Australian Driver's Licence with the ability to drive a manual vehicle

• Full Australian working rights

Why Join Morrison's Gardens?

• $42–$45 per hour + Super (based on experience)

• Company vehicle provided for work duties

• Full-time Monday to Friday role (7:00am - 3:30pm)

• Strong operational support from our Gardening Operations Manager and office administration team

• Established systems, scheduling and processes. You'll be supported, not left to figure things out alone

• Long-term career opportunities within a growing horticultural business
