Lead, Manage, and Grow with Us

At Lush Green, we create vibrant, functional outdoor environments that enhance communities. With over 800 active sites across Southeast Queensland—including parks, streetscapes, sports fields, and commercial precincts—we’re proud to deliver consistent, high-quality landscape maintenance services.

We’re now seeking an experienced and proactive Area Manager to take ownership of a portfolio of sites in the Caboolture region, based from our Burpengary depot. You’ll lead multiple teams, work closely with council and commercial clients, and ensure operational success across all sites.

Assist in quoting additional works, identifying upsell opportunities, and promoting site improvements.

Ensure equipment, machinery, and vehicles are maintained and available for operational use.

Collaborate with the GM to manage staffing levels, team structure, and recruitment needs in your region.

Report on KPIs, progress, and any issues using our digital reporting systems.

About You

To be successful in this role, you will be a motivated and organised leader with excellent communication and coordination skills. You must be able to build strong relationships with your team and clients, and have the foresight to plan and adapt across a wide range of daily challenges.
