Mō te tūranga | About the Role

Our Head Gardeners play an important role in building thriving communities at Arvida.

At Waimea Plains, you will lead your team in providing a park-life environment through planning, directing, and overseeing the maintenance of gardens, lawns, and landscaping to an excellent standard.

You will set and oversee the garden schedule, provide guidance and direction to the team, and ensure all work is carried out according to design briefs, within budget, and in accordance with correct procedure - all with a continuous improvement mindset.

We run natural, non-toxic systems in our villages and encourage a values-led working environment. This is an opportunity to truly make an impact on our resident's lives and their day-to-day surroundings.

This is a full time role working Monday - Friday. You will hold a Level 4 qualification in Horticulture, have an eye for design, extensive knowledge of plants and their habitats, demonstrate an interest in organics and sustainability, and experience in managing and developing a team.
