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
Chance to move into a permanent position following a successful trial period
Established and supportive crew
Well-maintained specialist tree equipment
