Plantscape Technician

E pā ana ki a SkyCity | About SkyCity

At SkyCity, we're all about creating memorable experiences for our customers but it's not just our people who help bring our spaces to life. Across our precinct hundreds of plants help create welcoming, vibrant environments for our guests and team members every day.

We're looking for a part-time Plantscape Technician to join our Facility Services team and become the person behind some of the best-looking greenery in Auckland. If you're someone who loves plants, takes pride in seeing them thrive, and enjoys working independently, this could be the perfect role for you.

Mō te Tūranga | About the Role

As our Plantscape Technician you'll be responsible for maintaining healthy, attractive indoor plants across multiple locations throughout the SkyCity Auckland precinct, including our main site, Horizon Hotel, NZICC and Federal House.

No two days are quite the same. One moment you could be watering and tending to lush feature plants in a public space, the next you're troubleshooting a plant that's having a tough week or helping prepare displays for a special event. You'll have ownership of your work, managing plant care schedules across multiple locations and ensuring every plant is looking its best.

Key responsibilities include

• Maintaining the health and presentation of indoor plants across multiple sites
• Watering, feeding, misting, pruning and re-potting plants as required
• Proactively identifying and treating pests, diseases and plant health issues
• Maintaining plant care schedules and treatment records
• Monitoring stock levels and ordering plant care supplies
• Recommending plant replacements and improvements where required
• Assisting with seasonal and event displays
• Ensuring safe work practices and maintaining tidy work areas at all times
• Mōu | About You
• We're looking for someone who doesn't just keep plants alive... you help them thrive.

You'll bring

A working knowledge of common indoor plants and their care requirements

The ability to identify early signs of pests, disease and plant stress

A proactive and self-motivated approach to work

The ability to work independently and manage your own schedule across multiple sites

Strong attention to detail and pride in delivering high standards

Confidence taking ownership of plant health outcomes and knowing when to seek support

Good physical fitness, including the ability to lift up to 10kg and safely use a step ladder

Strong organisational and communication skills

A horticulture qualification, nursery experience or garden centre background would be advantageous, but most importantly we're looking for someone with genuine passion for plants and a keen eye for detail.
