Gardener in French

Search for jardinier, agent d'entretien des espaces verts, ouvrier des espaces verts or, in local authorities, agent technique espaces verts and adjoint technique territorial. The job is open without a diploma, but the CAPa Jardinier paysagiste, the Bac pro Aménagements paysagers and the BTSA Aménagements paysagers make hiring easier and lead to team leader roles. A driving licence is often required, and CACES certificates are asked for when you operate small earthmoving equipment. The use of chemical pesticides in public spaces and private gardens is heavily restricted in France, so employers expect knowledge of alternative methods. Private garden maintenance is part of the services à la personne sector, which brings a lot of work with individual households.
