Qualified Landscaper - Casual / Part Time

Kihara Landscapes is an award-winning landscape design and construction company in the South East of Melbourne. We specialise in Japanese Gardens and are the leader in Victoria in this field - if not Australia.

We are looking for a skilled landscaper with a passion for landscaping, particularly Japanese gardens. We are looking for someone with a great attitude, who is highly motivated and reliable and has an extremely high work ethic. If you have lived or travelled in Japan, you will know of the attention to detail and perfection we strive for.

We have multiple positions for the successful candidate and will consider casual, part-time, or full-time roles for the right person. A minimum commitment of 3 full days will be required.

Your ability to complete landscape construction tasks at the highest standard is our main priority. You will be able to work in a small predominantly Japanese team. The role will allow plenty of exposure to Japanese garden design and construction, and we will also draw on your high skill set for other residential landscaping tasks.

A driver's licence and a reliable vehicle are necessary - our jobs are generally spread across the SE Suburbs. You will need to have a good level of fitness.

Requirements (qualifications, experience, licences etc.)

• Along with your experience in a residential landscaping environment we will look highly at candidates who have spent time in Japan and have a good idea of Japanese culture.
• A knowledge or a desire to learn about Japanese gardens is a must.

To apply, please email your resume and cover letter to info@kiharalandscapes.com.au. We look forward to hearing from you.

Project Manager

Have you been looking for a company that values your contribution and skills as a Project Manager? Maybe you’re tired of the environment and aggressive personalities found in other construction sectors. At Yellowstone we specialise in delivering playgrounds and outdoor spaces for local council clients. We’re looking for an experienced Project Manager with experience in multi-res, commercial, civil or landscape construction.

Working at Yellowstone you’ll relish the unique challenges of the work we do. Working in collaboration with Landscape Architects, Senior project coordinators, project managers and our inhouse support team, you’ll come up with innovative ideas and cost saving initiatives. You’ll work with these specialists to solve problems, overcome their doubts and in turn you’ll gain their genuine appreciation and respect.

Construction sites in other sectors can be immensely demanding with minimal space, unrealistic deadlines and contractors working on top of each other. Our sites are in scenic outdoor spaces, involve less pressure and involve realistic expectations around timeframes and quality standards. Our sites don’t operate on weekends and you won’t get calls after hours, so you’ll be able to spend more time with your family and enjoying your time off.

If you can’t see your career progressing any further at your current employer? If you’re the sort of person that is self-motivated, driven and has a relentless work ethic? This could be the right role for you.

You will be highly skilled in managing projects and you will be driven by customer satisfaction and personal growth. You’ll have high standards and be self-motivated. You will enjoy working within budgets and timeframes.

The right candidate will be the kind of person who can think on their feet, use initiative and problem solve as issues crop up. You'll be self-sufficient, but also be prepared to ask for advice and help as the need arises. You will be someone who can quickly assess the situation and come up with several approaches to a problem. You'll be an all-rounder who has a solid understanding of budgets and negotiation.

This is a full-time secure role where you can expect to work on a variety of project, for a variety of clients at different locations. You’ll be:

• Supervising a small team
• Planning and coordinating projects
• Negotiating with and managing various sub-contract trades
• Liaising with clients from our north west region
• Reporting up with regular reports and updates

Your skills and experience:

• 5+ years managing projects
• 5+ years’ experience leading a team
• 5+ years’ experience managing other trades and sub-contractors
• Experience managing small and medium sized projects
• Extensive understanding of architectural plans and levels
• Familiar with the OH&S requirements in the construction industry and experience managing a safety-compliant work site
• Excellent eye for detail
• Always looking to make sure things are “just right” for our clients

If you believe this is you, please forward your resume and a cover letter to: operations@yellowstonelandscaping.com.au
