Job Description
Do you enjoy working outdoors, take pride in seeing the results of your work, and have a passion for creating attractive, well-maintained public spaces?
As a Mobile Garden Team Member, you'll play an important role in helping keep Napier looking its best. From roadside gardens and median strips to seasonal displays and public green spaces, you'll help care for the landscapes that residents and visitors enjoy every day. Whether you're planting, pruning, maintaining garden beds or operating equipment, you'll take pride in delivering work that makes a visible difference across our city.
This is a hands-on role suited to someone who enjoys practical outdoor work and isn't afraid to roll up their sleeves. You'll work as part of a supportive team while also taking ownership of your allocated garden areas, helping maintain them to a consistently high standard throughout the seasons.
We're looking for someone with practical gardening or horticultural experience, a strong work ethic and a genuine pride in producing quality work. While horticultural qualifications are an advantage, they're not essential - we're equally interested in people who bring the right attitude, solid experience and a willingness to keep learning.

Around two years' practical gardening or horticultural experience
Experience with planting, pruning, mowing, spraying and general garden maintenance
Confidence operating gardening equipment and machinery safely
A full Class 1 Driver Licence
A proactive attitude and pride in producing quality work
The ability to work outdoors in all weather conditions
A willingness to work safely on roadsides and median strips
Traffic Management and/or HT Licence experience would be an advantage, but isn't essential
Ngā painga mōhou - What we Offer
5 weeks' annual leave after 2 years service
Discounted health insurance work scheme + Eye test subsidy

This is a permanent, full time role working 42.5 hours per week, Monday-Friday. You’ll be based out of Napier City Council’s operational depot in Onekawa, but spend much of your time working on the network across the city.
The hourly rate for this role is between $28.68 - $29.90 (plus KiwiSaver if eligible), with the final offer depending on your skills and experience.
We will be interviewing applications as we receive them and may close the role when we have found the right person.
