Groundskeeper/Landscaper - Downtown Austin

Groundskeeping at a luxury multifamily property calls on a specific mix of horticultural knowledge, mechanical aptitude, and resident-facing professionalism. This part-time role at a Worth Ross Management Company community in Austin's Market/Seaholm District draws on all three, and the balance matters: you're not just mowing and edging. You're maintaining the exterior presentation of a property where residents expect a high-end experience every time they walk through the common areas.

Skills This Role Puts to Work

The core of the job is hands-on landscaping: mowing, edging, mulching, fertilizing, weeding, and caring for flowers, shrubs, and trees. You'll need a real working knowledge of plant health, because identifying pest damage or irrigation issues early keeps small problems from becoming expensive ones. Speaking of irrigation, you'll be expected to monitor and troubleshoot the system, including minor repairs. That mechanical comfort with irrigation and low-voltage wiring separates candidates who can handle the full scope of the role from those who can only handle the visible, surface-level work.

Beyond the green spaces, you'll keep common areas clean and presentable: walkways, garage areas, amenity spaces, and dumpster zones. You'll also assist with light maintenance tasks like painting touch-ups and lighting checks. Residents will see you regularly, so professional, courteous interaction is part of the job, not a side requirement.

What You Bring to the Role

• Prior groundskeeping or landscaping experience (required)
• Working knowledge of plants, seasonal care, and gardening methods
• Comfort with irrigation systems and basic troubleshooting
• Reliability and a detail-oriented approach to keeping grounds in top condition
• Strong communication skills with residents, vendors, and team members
• A high school diploma or equivalent
• Prior experience in residential facilities is a plus

What This Role Builds

If you're newer to luxury residential work, this position teaches you the standard that Class A communities operate at and what it takes to consistently maintain it. The combination of horticultural care, light maintenance exposure, and daily resident interaction gives you a cross-functional skill set that transfers well into a lead groundskeeper role or a broader maintenance technician track. Working within a company like WRMC, which manages luxury multifamily and HOA properties across multiple markets, also gives you exposure to professional property management processes and expectations that smaller operators often don't emphasize.

The schedule runs 16 to 24 hours per week with flexibility, and the pay range is $21 to $23 per hour. For someone who wants a part-time outdoor role with a professional employer and real craft expectations, this one is worth a close look.
