Job Description:

Grounds Maintenance Team Leader

Wisbech
Full-Time | 40 Hours per Week | Early Start (5:45am)
£30,000 - £35,000 per annum + Overtime

Take the Lead Outdoors

If you’re someone who takes pride in transforming outdoor spaces and enjoys leading from the front, this role is built for you. We’re looking for a hands-on Lead Grounds Maintenance Technician to guide a small team delivering high-quality grounds services across a variety of client sites.

This isn’t a desk job — you’ll be out in the field, setting standards, motivating your team, and making sure every site looks its absolute best.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Leading and organising a small team to deliver daily maintenance tasks efficiently
• Working alongside your team — setting the standard through your own work
• Maintaining landscapes to a high professional finish, including:
  • Grass cutting, strimming, edging, and lawn care
  • Hedge cutting, pruning, and weed control
  • Litter picking and general site upkeep
• Operating machinery, including triple gang mowers
• Carrying out sports line marking when required
• Ensuring all work meets safety standards and company expectations
• Building positive, professional relationships with clients
• Managing tools, equipment, and daily paperwork accurately

What We’re Looking For

• Full UK driving licence (essential)
• Trailer experience (required)
• PA1 & PA6 certifications (required)
• Proven experience in grounds maintenance or landscaping
• Confidence operating triple gang mowers
• Previous leadership or supervisory experience (preferred)
• A proactive, reliable attitude with strong attention to detail
• Physically fit and comfortable working outdoors in all conditions

What You’ll Get

• Stable, full-time employment
• Daily overtime paid after 8 hours
• A supportive and hardworking team environment
• Real opportunity to lead and develop others
• Varied work across multiple sites — no two days the same

Additional Info

• Enhanced DBS check required before starting
• Early starts and travel between sites are part of the role
• A perfect mix of leadership and hands-on work

Why This Role Stands Out

This is more than just grounds maintenance — it’s a chance to take ownership, lead a team, and directly shape the quality of outdoor spaces people see every day.

We endeavour to reply to every candidate, every time but if you haven’t heard back within 10 days, please understand that you have unfortunately been unsuccessful for this position, or the position has been filled.
