why grolife

build a career.
not just a job.

Most landscape jobs are jobs. Grolife is set up to be a career.

That means real progression — Apprentice into Technician into Team Leader into Operations. It means investment in training, paid certifications, and the best kit in the industry so you're not fighting your tools. It means four-day weeks so you actually have a life outside of work. And it means above-award wages so you're paid for the skill you bring.

The team you'd be joining has been here for years — Darren, our Operations Manager, joined as a maintenance crew member. Shane, our Assistant Operations Manager, was one of the first staff to join Cameron on the journey. Lachlan, our General Manager, came over from a major international entertainment company for a change of career. This is what progression looks like in real life.

what we offer

the package, in full.

Every role at Grolife comes with the same baseline — above-award wages, four-day weeks, the best kit in the industry, and a clear path forward. Here's the full picture.

01

4-day working week.

Monday to Thursday. Long weekends every weekend.

02

above-award wages.

We pay above the Modern Award rates for every role — because retaining good people costs less than re-hiring.

03

paid Cert III in Horticulture.

For apprentices, we cover the full Cert III in Horticulture — TAFE fees, time off for training, the lot.

04

on-the-job training.

Every team member gets hands-on training in arboriculture, irrigation, turf, fertilisation, and the gear we use.

05

real career progression.

Apprentice → Technician → Team Leader → Operations. The pathway is real — most of our senior team came up through it.

06

latest commercial kit.

Full Kress Commercial battery-electric range — quieter, cleaner, and the best tools in the Australian market.

07

company car (team leader).

Team Leader roles come with a fully-fitted Grolife branded vehicle.

08

social events.

Family days, end-of-year celebrations, trade shows. The team actually enjoys being a team.

the kit you'll use

the best gear
in the industry.

We were one of the first commercial landscape teams in Australia to go all-in on Kress Commercial battery-electric equipment. Today 80% of our fleet runs on full electric — the same battery platform across blowers, trimmers, chainsaws, mowers, the lot.

And we don't stop at hand tools. In 2022 we became the first Australian operator of the Ventrac multi-use tractor. In 2026 we became the first Australian operator of the Kress Voyager — the world's first commercial-grade autonomous zero-turn mower.

It means you'll be using gear that competitors haven't even priced yet. Quieter sites, no fuel handling, less fatigue, and the satisfaction of being on the right side of where the industry is heading.
