Gardener

Trade · Christchurch, New Zealand · Full-Time · $25/hr · Visa: Employer sponsored
Lawns, borders, paths and shared outdoor spaces in Christchurch need a dependable Gardener who takes pride in a tidy finish. The role is hands-on: regular mowing, line trimming and pruning, planting and fertilising, plus spotting the small jobs before they become big ones.
You would run ride-on mowers and other garden machinery, keep your kit and work areas in good order, and liaise with in-house teams and outside contractors when the job calls for it. Safe use of tools and steady, reliable work are what the employer values most.
For a New Zealand gardening role, spell out the grounds you have maintained and the mowers and trimmers you are confident on, and build a Christchurch grounds maintenance CV with Build AI CV.
