Mitie Landscapes has an exciting opportunity for a Grounds Maintenance Operative to join our team at the UK’s market leading FM company. Reporting to the Contracts Manager, you will be supporting them in ensuring your team delivers exceptional service every day.

Previous grounds maintenance experience is desirable but not necessary. A full driving license is preferable as some roles require the use of company vehicles.
You will be working in partnership with Canal & River Trust, the UK's largest canal charity, which cares for a 2,000-mile network of stunning canals and navigable rivers. Connecting many of the UK's urban and rural areas, we provide essential spaces for wildlife and people, helping us all feel happier and healthier. The waterways in our care – the canals, embankments, culverts, reservoirs, bridges, locks, and towpaths – and their vital ecosystems are threatened by the growing impact of climate change and more extreme weather. They need constant upkeep and investment. Without it, they face decline and closure, and we risk losing the incredible benefits they bring.
Together, with your active support, we can keep canals alive. Join us and protect waterways for nature to thrive and everyone to enjoy, today and in the future.
