Regularly inspect and assess the pitches for any potential hazards or risks, taking appropriate action to mitigate them promptly.
Maintain accurate records of all maintenance activities, including the use of chemicals, fertilisers, and other materials, in accordance with environmental and regulatory standards.

Budgeting and Resource Management:

Assist in the preparation and management of the department's annual budget, ensuring resources are allocated efficiently and cost-effectively.
Assist in the sourcing and procurement of necessary supplies, materials, and equipment while adhering to the club's procurement policies.
Monitor and control expenditure, keeping detailed records and providing regular reports to senior management as required.

Qualifications and Requirements:

Must have a Level 3 qualification relevant to sports turf management, ideally working towards/gained Level 4 qualification.

Certificate in Safe Use of Pesticides (NPTC PA1 & PA6) are desirable.

Proven experience as a grounds keeper in pitch maintenance, ideally within a professional sports environment.
Sound knowledge of turf management practices, including aeration, top dressing, fertilisation, irrigation, and pest control.
Strong leadership and management skills, with the ability to effectively lead a team and delegate tasks.
Excellent organisational and time management abilities, capable of prioritising tasks and meeting deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
Knowledge of health and safety regulations and best practices related to ground keeping activities.
Good communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with internal stakeholders and external partners.
