About You

You don't mind getting your hands dirty and being active in your day-to-day work. You work well in a team and have the ability to follow instructions.

You have a passion for sport and if you love playing cricket that would be a huge bonus - an understating of how a wicket affects play would be a great advantage for this role. If you have previous experience in landscaping, gardening, or a related field this would be looked upon favourably.

You have physical stamina with the ability to safely lift and carry heavy objects, bend, squat, kneel, and stand for extended periods. Working outdoors in various weather conditions, including heat, cold, rain, and the sun doesn't phase you.

You have a white card and a valid drivers licence. Some weekend work could be on offer as the season gets closer.

Above all you have a strong work ethic and a commitment to completing your work efficiently and to the highest standards following all safety protocols.
