Join The Garden Project Co.
We're growing, and we're looking for an experienced Team Leader to join our award-winning team.
Our clients expect the very best, and so do we. Our Director is famously "fussy"—not the impossible-to-please kind, but the kind who believes that precision, passion and pride are what turn a good garden into a great one.
You'll already be highly skilled across all aspects of hard and soft landscaping, confident leading a team, and someone who naturally sets high standards for yourself and those around you.
What you'll be doing
- Leading a landscaping team on high-end residential projects.
- Installing just about everything a garden can throw at you.
- Reading plans, setting out accurately, and working confidently with levels and measurements.
- Delivering exceptional workmanship from start to finish.
- Keeping projects running smoothly while motivating your team.
The practical bits
- Monday to Friday, 7:30am – 4:30pm.
- You'll be working outdoors in all weathers (you already know the drill!).
- This is a physically demanding role.
- Projects are across Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Northamptonshire, so you'll need to be happy travelling between sites.
What we're looking for
- Proven people management experience.
- Strong leadership skills.
- Competence across all aspects of landscape installation.
- Excellent understanding of plans, levels and measurements.
- A genuine pride in producing outstanding work.
What you'll get
We know time matters.
That's why we offer:
- 30 days' annual leave (including bank holidays).
- Your birthday off—because nobody should have to work on their birthday.
- A supportive team that genuinely enjoys working together.
- The chance to work on exceptional projects with clients who appreciate quality.
Why The Garden Project Co.?
The biggest difference isn't what we do, it's how we do it.
We're a close-knit team built around shared values. We take our work seriously, but we don't take ourselves too seriously. We work hard, have a laugh along the way, and we're committed to being the best employer our team has ever worked for.
We're a small business with big ambitions, always looking to improve, and we'd love to see what you could bring to the team.
