  • Support seasonal installations, themed overlays, and special event preparations.

  • Assist with planting, soil preparation, fertilization, and basic weed or pest control in line with safety guidelines.

  • Keep walkways, courtyards, entrances, and guest areas clean, safe, and visually appealing.

💧 Irrigation & Hardscape Support

  • Assist with inspection and basic maintenance of irrigation systems (leaks, broken heads, coverage issues).

  • Support minor hardscape upkeep such as pressure washing, pathway edging, and exterior furniture placement.

  • Identify and report irrigation or landscape infrastructure issues requiring advanced repair.

🔍 Inspections & Quality Standards

  • Conduct routine inspections to identify safety hazards, trip risks, dead vegetation, or presentation concerns.

  • Ensure all landscaped areas meet LEGOLAND® standards, seasonal expectations, and guest experience goals.

  • Proactively resolve issues or escalate concerns to the Facilities Supervisor when needed.

🛠 Work Orders & Team Collaboration

  • Complete assigned landscape-related work orders and accurately document work in the CMMS.

  • Communicate progress, delays, or material needs to leadership.

  • Collaborate with Facilities, Custodial, Operations, and external vendors to support resort-wide initiatives.

  • Assist with emergency response efforts such as storm cleanup or debris removal.
