Experienced Landscaper – Step Up to Foreman
Ready for your next step in landscaping?
If you're an experienced landscaper who's great on the tools, takes pride in a hard day's work and is ready for more responsibility, this could be your opportunity to step up.
Oderings is looking for an Experienced Landscaper to join our growing Christchurch landscaping team. You don't need to have been a Foreman before. We're looking for someone with solid landscaping experience, the right attitude and the potential to lead — we'll provide on-the-job training and support to help you develop into a Foreman role.
This is a hands-on position. You'll work as part of a small crew delivering landscaping projects and garden maintenance across residential and commercial properties. There'll be plenty of digging, planting, soil preparation and physical work, so you'll need to be fit, motivated and happy to get stuck in.
What you'll be doing
Planting trees, shrubs, hedging and seasonal colour.
Garden makeovers, enhancements and rejuvenation.
Landscape and garden maintenance to a high standard.
Soil preparation, mulching, pruning and general plant care.
Working alongside your crew to get jobs completed efficiently and to a high standard.
Communicating with customers on site.
Keeping sites safe, tidy and professional.
Learning to plan jobs, organise work and lead a small crew as you develop towards a Foreman position.

Is reliable, motivated and able to use initiative.
Works well with others and has the potential to lead a small team.
Communicates confidently with customers and colleagues.

You don't need to be a Foreman already. What's important to us is that you're an experienced landscaper who's ready to take on more responsibility and has the drive to develop into the role.
