  • 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:
