- Operating machinery for mowing, renovation and general grounds work
- Assisting with irrigation and site upkeep
- Working to clear instructions and follow trial protocols
- Supporting the preparation and maintenance of trial and demonstration areas
This is a hands-on grounds management role first and foremost, however the diverse nature of the Group means there are often opportunities to develop into the wider business.
What we’re looking for
We are looking for someone with the right attitude and mindset:
- Interest in sports turf and turf maintenance
- Willingness to learn and develop
- Able to follow instructions and protocols accurately
- Curious about how data and research improve turf management
