Job description

Green by Nature is proud to have been selected to manage the Tararua District Council Open Space Contract, starting late November, 2025. This marks an exciting new chapter in caring for Tararua's beautiful parks and reserves and we’re on the lookout for passionate people to help us bring this vision to life.

If you’re community-minded, love working outdoors, and want to be part of something meaningful, we’d love to hear from you.

About The Role

As a Mower Operator, you’ll play a key role in keeping Tararua’s parks, reserves, and high-profile spaces looking their best. Your daily work will involve :

  • Operating ride-on mowers to maintain sports fields and green spaces
  • Weed eating, edging, and push mowing for those finer finishing touches
  • Performing basic maintenance to keep equipment in top condition
  • Meeting client expectations with a high standard of presentation and care

What You’ll Bring

  • Experience operating ride-on mowers and small plant equipment (ie : weed eaters, trimmers etc)
  • A full, current driver’s licence (manual required; Class 2 advantageous)
  • Good level of physical fitness – this role doesn't just require you to sit on your mower but also to operate the small plant equipment too!
  • Comfort using technology would also be beneficial
  • A strong commitment to health and safety, and a positive, can-do attitude
  • A willingness to learn, grow, and be a valuable part of the team!
  • What We Can Offer

    As part of our team, you'll have the opportunity to work with other professionals, gain further knowledge and experience, and develop your career in greenspace maintenance. We offer guaranteed work hours with the opportunity to increase based on operational needs, a performance-based wage that is reviewed annually, and an annual $300 wellness benefit. You'll also receive a work phone which is permitted for personal use and your uniform and PPE gear.

    Next Steps

    Since our beginnings in 1992, we’ve grown into an industry leader with over 2000+ team members across New Zealand and Australia. We are passionate about enhancing the natural environment and supporting councils and clients in realising their forward-thinking visions. So, if you’re ready to take the next step and join a company that has been an industry leader for more than 30 years, apply today.

    In accordance with the Company's Drug & Alcohol Policy, the successful candidate will be required to undergo and pass a pre-employment drug test.
