Groundskeeper

Casual Groundskeeper Position at National Ceramics Industries Australia (NCIA)

NCIA, located in Rutherford, is seeking a committed and vigilant Groundskeeper for a casual position within our factory environment. This role is particularly suited for individuals in or close to retirement who are looking for an opportunity to earn extra income while making a substantial contribution to maintaining a neat, tidy, and safe factory surrounding. Given the nature of our site, with frequent movements of trucks and forklifts, the position demands a high level of safety awareness, common sense, a keen eye for detail and the ability to work independently. 

Key Responsibilities:

• Mowing and trimming to ensure grass areas are well-kept.
• Pruning and clearing vegetation from driveways, signage, and utilities to maintain clear visibility, access, and visual appeal. 
• Landscaping tasks focused on maintaining a neat, tidy, and safe environment.
• Removing rubbish and debris to uphold cleanliness and safety/environmental standards, particularly in and around waste disposal and storage areas. 
• Conducting general maintenance and tidying tasks to support the overall upkeep of the factory’s outdoor areas.
• Undertaking odd jobs related to the maintenance of the grounds and groundskeeping equipment as needed.

Initial Commitment:

The grounds require a significant first effort to bring the areas to a standard that can be maintained. Initially, we expect a commitment to a 5-day, 8-hour per day week. After this period, the position will transition to 1-3 days per week, depending on the ground’s maintenance needs.

Ideal Candidate:

• Someone in or close to retirement seeking supplementary income.
• Experience in groundskeeping or related fields preferred but not mandatory.
• Ability to work independently, with awareness of surroundings.
• Physically capable of handling manual tasks and operating maintenance equipment.
• Flexible availability to adapt to varying workloads.
• Forklift licensee is preferred.
