Excavation and preparation for sandstone/rock retaining walls

Loading, moving and placing materials around site
Assisting the landscape construction crew when machinery isn't required
This is
not a machine-only position

What's on Offer
$40+ per hour + Super
, depending on experience and capability

Monday to Friday, with occasional Saturday work and TOIL

A good understanding of
levels and falls

MR or HR licence highly regarded
The ability to read a site and understand what needs to happen next
A practical, problem-solving approach
A strong work ethic and pride in getting the job finished properly
Most importantly, you'll be someone who sees themselves as
part of the crew, not just the operator
