• Coordinate and oversee contractors and subcontractors to ensure quality and timely completion of projects.
• Conduct routine grounds maintenance tasks such as mowing, trimming, landscaping, rubbish management, and pest control.
• Assist with installation and maintenance of outdoor facilities, fencing, pathways, and security systems.
• Ensure compliance with safety standards and environmental regulations.
• Manage inventory of tools, equipment, and materials needed for site works.
• Work independently as well as part of a team, with strong communication and problem-solving skills.

What We’re Looking For:

• Proven experience in grounds coordination, facilities management, or a similar role involving outdoor infrastructure projects.
