* Mentor and coach your assistant in horticultural skills and safe working practices.
* Oversee use and maintenance of tools, machinery, green-waste disposal, and PPE compliance.
* Maintain Health & Safety standards.
* Keep accurate records (if required): planting inventories, schedules, job sheets, and client communications.
* Model professionalism, punctuality, reliability, exemplary workmanship, and excellent customer service.
* Swiftly report any issues or hazards affecting operations or safety.
