- To be part of an A-grade team where everyone pulls their weight

LANDSCAPERS & LABOURERS
This is a new role for someone looking to build on their career as an experienced landscaper. The role is for an immediate start. While we expect you to come to us with experience in landscaping/construction, we will assist and train you in the Shape and Form way.
Your skills, attitude, and outlook on life:
If this role is right for you, you'll be a good communicator and relate well to clients and your co-workers.
You'll have high personal standards and be self-motivated. You enjoy working to a high standard within budgets and timeframes.
You'll be the kind of person who can think on their feet, use initiative and problem solve as issues crop up. You'll be self-sufficient, but also be prepared to ask for advice and help as the need arises.
You might have worked for other commercial or domestic landscapers. You might even have had your own landscaping or gardening business, but be looking to join a premium team.
You'll be someone who can quickly assess the situation and come up with several approaches to a problem. You're an all-rounder who has a basic understanding of business.
