Estate staff careers
Private estates need skilled people outdoors and behind the scenes: gardeners, groundskeepers, caretakers and maintenance technicians. Find estate grounds and maintenance jobs from private families and agencies.
Gardener, landscaper, caretaker and maintenance roles from private employers and domestic staffing agencies.
Estate groundskeepers and gardeners keep the outside of a private property beautiful all year: lawns, hedges, flower beds, trees, irrigation, pools, courts and paths. A caretaker looks after the whole property, often living on site, especially when the family is away. Maintenance technicians handle repairs, home systems and, increasingly, smart-home technology.
These roles usually report to the estate manager or house manager.
Most estate grounds and maintenance roles are paid hourly. Horticulture knowledge, licenses and technical skills raise pay.
