Parks and open spaces are a critical component of the fabric of Christchurch and are a key component of the Garden City image Christchurch is renowned for.

The role is cemeteries maintenance focused. You'll be a committed team player who is always looking at ways to learn and grow. You will be ensuring all aspects of the cemeteries such as turf, gardens and all associated furnishings are maintained to the highest standard. You'll have the opportunity to perform a wide range of horticultural tasks as well as interact with a wide range of horticultural disciplinary experts.

You will have a full driver's license, a minimum of level 4 National Certificate in Horticulture or equivalent, or extensive experience in similar role. A Grow Safe qualification and/or a Traffic management ticket/qualifications would be highly desirable.
