- Tree climbing and aerial tree work
- Tree removals
- Tree pruning
- Sectional dismantling
- Rigging and lowering
- Working from an EWP where required
- Groundwork and assisting with general tree operations as part of the crew

This is a hands-on crew role. When you are not climbing or working from the EWP, you will be expected to work alongside the rest of the crew on the ground and assist wherever required to keep the job moving safely and efficiently.

The following will be highly regarded:

- EWP experience and relevant high-risk work licence




- MR or HR driver’s licence
- Current First Aid
- Additional relevant arboriculture or machinery qualifications

What the Role Involves

Our crews start early and carry out physical outdoor work in varying weather conditions. You must be prepared to work safely, maintain a good pace throughout the day and take pride in completing work professionally and leaving sites clean and tidy.

We are looking for someone who can genuinely contribute to the crew and work across both aerial and ground-based tree operations as required.

What We Offer

- Immediate start
- Regular ongoing local work
- Casual position initially
- Opportunity to move into a permanent position following a successful trial period
- Established and supportive crew
- Well-maintained specialist tree equipment
- Variety of residential and commercial tree work
- Fraser Coast-based work with no regular working away

If you are an experienced cutter/climber looking for ongoing work with an established local tree company, we would like to hear from you.
