Full Job Description

Job no: 493614
Work type: Permanent full time
Location: VIC, Melbourne
Categories: Arborist, Chipper, EWP Operator, Grounds Person

We’re growing our Commercial Arboriculture crew across Melbourne and surrounding areas, and we’re on the lookout for experienced Tree Workers who want challenging, rewarding work in the great outdoors.

If you enjoy physical work, varied job sites, working with quality specialised equipment, and being part of a crew that genuinely has each other’s backs - this could be the role that takes your career to the next level.

What is the role?

This is a hands-on, physically demanding outdoor role for an experienced Tree Worker who thrives on practical, varied commercial arboriculture work.

You’ll be part of a skilled, supportive crew delivering tree trimming, dismantling services across a range of commercial sites. Every day is different - new locations, new challenges, and real satisfaction seeing the results of your work.

Using a range of handheld and pole‑mounted equipment, you’ll play a key role in completing work safely, efficiently and to a high standard. You’ll rotate through a range of tasks throughout the day, including:

Pre-starts and equipment maintenance checks
Manual tree pruning and dismantling
Chainsaw operation (handheld and pole-mounted)
Tree climbing operations
Ground crew support and site set-up
Identifying hazards and contributing to on-site risk assessments
Loading, unloading and working around trucks and machinery

If you’ve worked in the vegetation or arboriculture industry - whether in a ground crew, labouring role or chipper work - you’ll feel right at home here.
