Full job description

An exciting and rewarding opportunity has arisen to join a fast-growing local business, creating, installing and maintaining custom ponds and water features.

DU Waterscapes have become the leading specialists in creating and maintaining bespoke aquatic art, and bringing gardens to life throughout the South West of England. From small back garden fountains to larger natural lakes, we like to get stuck in with a positive mindset, whilst always maintaining our high levels of client satisfaction.

You will be joining a small, friendly team in an ambitious and expanding company and we would love for you to bring your own passion, skills and experience to help us grow. The role is based from our yard outside of Ilminster and our sister company, Aqua Eden our Water Garden Centre and Design Studio. Projects tend to be within an hour and a half’s radius with occasional distance projects requiring time away, so a full, clean driving licence is required for driving the company vehicle.

This job involves working in a small and fast paced team to create beautiful waterscapes within the allocated time frame that encourages native wildlife as well creating a haven for our clients to enjoy. There is also regular maintenance required to keep these features looking their best. This job would suit a self motivated, positive and proactive person with a great customer facing personality and presentation, whatever the weather.

This will include greeting clients, assessing the works to be done from regular filter cleans and plant cutting back, small plumbing repairs or replacements and independent timekeeping.
On site, your role will be to assist Dan building water features. Over the next year or more, you will be learning the different aspects of pond building from plumbing up the components, wiring in low voltage lighting, artistry of rock setting and building, hardscaping of patios, paths and decking, planting both aquatic and terrestrial and the science of how and why we build our ponds in this specific way. Online learning modules are available and you will be encouraged and supported to further your background knowledge in whichever way you enjoy learning.
In the yard, you will be responsible for keeping the site tidy, tools in good working order and maintaining our sister site Aqua Eden with our display gardens.
