About PermaPlant

PermaPlant is a planter-owned and operated revegetation business delivering large-scale environmental restoration projects across NSW. We specialise in tree and plant installation across Sydney, the Central Coast, the Hunter Region and the Illawarra, working with a young, energetic team that values hard work, improvement and resilience. We're a small business that knows the job from the ground up — because our owners do it too.

Location: Various jobsites across Sydney, Central Coast, Newcastle, Hunter Region and the Illawarra (current active sites include Western Sydney)

About the Role

PermaPlant is looking for enthusiastic tree planters to join our team across Sydney and surrounding regions. This is a very physically and mentally demanding outdoor job — but if you're prepared to work hard, you can earn far more than a standard casual role and stay fit at the same time. If you're fit, disciplined and want to earn $32.18–100/hr, this role will reward your effort like no standard casual job.

Why Join PermaPlant?

- High earning potential — most planters earn $35–50/hr; top performers earn $70–$80/hr

- Guaranteed minimum pay — you're always protected by our Award Wage guarantee of $32.18 per hour (minus lunch break) and never penalised for a slow day

- Versatile work pattern — part-time days or more days available depending on your situation

- Stay fit while you earn — daily physical work keeps you in shape

- Visa-friendly work available — some of our sites count towards 2nd and 3rd year Working Holiday visas for eligible workers

- Young, energetic, supportive team — planter-owned and operated, we know what the job demands

- Regular outdoor work across interesting environmental restoration sites around NSW

What You'll Do

- Plant trees and plants of all sizes at diverse revegetation and landscaping jobsites

- Work at a fast pace while maintaining high planting quality and site standards

- Follow site instructions and safety procedures

- Bring strong energy,



reliability and a positive attitude to every shift

Pay and Conditions

- Employment type: Casual

- Pay structure: Piece-rate with a guaranteed minimum

- Guaranteed minimum: $32.18/hr on the jobsite

- We calculate both your piece-rate earnings and your hourly equivalent — and pay whichever is higher

- Most planters earn $35–50/hr; top planters earn $70–100/hr once up to speed

- Typical hours: Monday to Friday, approx. 7:00am – 3:30pm, with flexibility and potential for up to 6 days/week during busy periods

What We're Looking For

- Physically fit — a sporting or gym background is a strong advantage

- Comfortable working outdoors in all weather conditions (work may be called off in very heavy rain)

- Strong work ethic and mental toughness — able to handle repetitive, demanding physical tasks

- White Card (Construction Induction Card) — required before starting; we can advise on how to obtain one quickly if needed

- Driver's licence and reliable transport (own vehicle or willingness to arrange transport)

- Steel-cap boots and basic PPE (or willingness to obtain before starting)

Getting Up to Speed

New planters should expect the first couple of weeks to be very challenging while they learn the job and build speed. Stick with it and your performance and earnings can increase quickly — the early learning curve is worth pushing through.

Who This Role Suits

- Fit, hard-working people who want to earn more than a standard casual wage

- Students and backpackers who enjoy outdoor work and have the discipline to push themselves

- People with a sporting or active background who enjoy physical challenges

- Those interested in gaining experience in planting, revegetation and environmental work
