We're looking for someone who is:

Safety-focused and reliable

Physically fit and enjoys working outdoors

A team player with a positive attitude

Comfortable problem-solving and working independently

Keen to learn and develop new skills

Committed to providing great service to customers and the community

Ideally, you'll hold:

A full Class 1 Driver Licence
