We are seeking an engaged gardener team coordinator who can help ensure smooth daily operations and a high level of professional quality in the maintenance of the municipality's green areas.

You will be a central part of a gardener district with 8-10 gardeners and skilled workers. Your day-to-day will consist of both practical gardening work, coordination of tasks, and contact with the municipality's schools, institutions, nursing homes and other partners.

You should be able to lead with your professional knowledge and work ethic while also providing an overview of the district's total tasks. It requires you to plan, prioritize and follow up, but also to involve your colleagues and find good solutions in collaboration.

Your primary tasks will be to

• Use IT tools for planning, communication and registration of tasks.
• Participate in the municipality's winter standby arrangement.

Who are you?

We envision that you are educated as a landscape gardener, gardener or have another relevant green trade education.

The most important is that you have a solid professional foundation and practical experience with the care and maintenance of green areas.

• Have good abilities to create an overview, plan and prioritize tasks.

It is an advantage if you

• Have experience with green operations and maintenance in a municipality or another larger organization.
• Have experience coordinating and planning several concurrent tasks.
• Have experience with daily contact with schools, institutions, nursing homes or other users of green areas.
