Job Description

We’re expanding our crew across Mount Gambier, Millicent, Naracoorte and surrounding areas, and we’re looking for Tree Workers who have some experience in the vegetation or arboriculture industry - even if it’s minimal.

If you enjoy physical work, love being outdoors, and bring a can‑do attitude, this could be the perfect next step in your career.

You’ll rotate through a variety of tasks throughout the day, including:

• Pre‑start & maintenance checks
• Operating an Elevated Work Platform
• Safety observing
• Chainsaw operation (handheld and pole‑mounted)
• Conducting risk assessments

* If you’ve had any exposure to the vegetation or arboriculture industry - whether through labouring, ground support or chipper work - even at basic/entry level - you’ll fit right in!

• All PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) and uniforms provided
• $29 - $33 per hour + superannuation
• Living Away Allowance & Travel Allowance
