Team Leader - Run Your Own Jobs | $75k-$85k + Dual-Cab Ute | Newcastle
Want to quote it, plan it and build it, without a big-company chain of command?
McDonald Hunter Gardens is a Newcastle landscaping and garden-care business. In three and a half years we've built a reputation for an excellent eye for detail, top-quality workmanship and real horticultural expertise, and we're still growing. After a great run, our team leader is stepping back for family reasons, and we're looking for a hands-on leader to take the crew forward.
What you'll do
- Run site visits, quote jobs and then run them from start to finish
- Lead and organise a small crew day to day
- Get on the tools alongside the team
- Be the face of MHG to our clients
- Spot extra work on site and quote it
- Look after the gear, the ute and site safety
- Bring a horticultural eye to every garden we touch
What a typical week looks like
We'll shape the week around your strengths, but generally expect:
- Two to three quotes from site visits with new and returning clients
- A day or two of regular garden maintenance (mowing, weeding, trimming)
- A clean-up job or a one- to two-day turfing job
- Bigger builds over a few weeks: new garden layouts, garden edging, small retaining walls and irrigation systems
What you'll bring
- Cert III in Horticulture or Cert III in Landscape Construction (minimum)
- Experience leading a crew or running a site
- Confidence measuring, estimating and pricing jobs
- A real eye for detail and pride in a quality finish
- Full manual driver's licence (trailer experience is a big plus)
- Reliability and clear communication with clients and the crew
What's in it for you
- $75,000-$85,000 + super, depending on your experience and tickets
- A dual-cab ute for work and reasonable personal use
- Monday to Friday, with no compulsory weekends
- Grow with us: we're a growing business, and the person in this role helps drive that growth. Help us grow, and you'll share in it, through more responsibility, a bigger role and rewards that match.
- Working directly with the owner, without big-company layers
Start
Immediately if you're available, but we'll wait for the right person.
