Tree Worker

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.

What is the role?

This is a hands‑on, physical outdoor role where you’ll be working at height in an Elevated Work Platform (EWP) bucket, lifted above the ground to safely trim and remove vegetation away from powerlines. Using handheld and pole‑mounted chainsaws, you’ll support your crew to complete safe and efficient tree trimming and dismantling work. 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
