Groundskeeper

Their duties typically include mowing lawns, trimming hedges, planting flowers, watering plants, and removing debris or litter. They may also operate machinery like lawnmowers and leaf blowers, perform basic repairs on outdoor equipment, and ensure that pathways and outdoor facilities are safe and accessible.

Groundskeepers often work outdoors in varying weather conditions and must have a good understanding of horticultural practices and safety procedures to keep the grounds well-maintained and visually appealing.
