At Occu we look after more than 4,500 houses and apartments, with more being added over the coming months. We take the view that the garden should be as good as the house, so grounds maintenance is not an afterthought here. It is part of what we promise every resident.
We are hiring a Landscaping Operative to keep our developments looking their best, and to be a familiar, friendly face to the people who live in them. If your background is in gardening, landscaping or grounds maintenance, this is the job for you.

- Planting seasonal flowers, shrubs and grass, along with weeding and general garden maintenance

Also part of the job. These are residential sites, so overall presentation matters:
- Power washing, soft washing and algae treatment on paths and patios
