Agriculture / Gardens, estates
English term or phrase: Grounds Manager
The term is used repeatedly throughout the text I am working on, it is the person who has all the functions of an "anleggsgartner/gartner", i.e. the plants, the greenhouse etc. but the person also can have employees under him, and this does not match the Norwegian term for "anleggsgartner". I am therefore looking for the correct term in Norwegian for this.

Explanation:
Har en kompis som jobber som vaktmester/anleggsgartner og som i forbindelse med dette har personalansvar. Stillingstittelen hans er driftssjef. Kanskje et begrep det går an å bruke her?

Da høres det riktigst ut, selv om jeg tror det stemmer at vi ikke har noen identisk stillingstittel på norsk, tusen takk til alle tre for hjelpen.

Explanation:
I strongly doubt we have an identical term in Norwegian, but I would suggest the more general "anleggsleder", which could comprise this function, but is also used in other contexts, e.g. in road construction and similar.

For definition of grounds manager, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_Grounds_Management...

Definition: The society defines a grounds manager as a member of a management team responsible for the operation and maintenance of a site or sites. The grounds manager is responsible for the management of staff, money, materials and equipment utilized in maintaining and enhancing a landscaped site including turf, trees, woody ornamentals and flowers, outdoor structure and related facilities. This can include areas such as roads, sidewalks, parking lots maintenance and repair (including snow removal).
