Due to continued growth, we are looking for a dependable and hardworking Lawn Care Technician to join our team based in Prestwick.
Previous lawn-care experience is welcome but not essential. We provide full practical and classroom-based training for the right person and may fund PA1 and PA6 pesticide application qualifications for suitable candidates.
About the role
You will visit customers’ properties in a company van and carry out a variety of lawn treatments and improvement work, including:
- Applying lawn fertilisers and approved weed and disease treatments

This is an active, hands-on role involving outdoor work in varying weather conditions. It includes driving between jobs, operating machinery and carrying out physical tasks throughout the working day.
A company van is provided and may be taken home overnight. Technicians normally travel directly from home to their first scheduled customer and must be ready to begin work there at the stated start time. Personal protective equipment is also provided.
Additional earning opportunities
Alongside your hourly pay, you can earn additional money through our uncapped customer referral and sales incentive scheme.
You will receive rewards when you introduce a new customer or when an appropriate service recommendation results in confirmed additional work. Recommendations must always be suitable for the customer and their property.
No previous sales experience is required. We will provide guidance on our services and how to discuss them confidently and professionally.
