As a Crew Leader within our Natural Areas team, you will play a pivotal role in leading a small crew responsible for maintaining and restoring a diverse range of natural environments.

  • developing and reviewing maintenance schedules
  • maintaining detailed operational and compliance records
  • identifying and troubleshooting ecological or operational challenges in the field and escalating to leaders where necessary
  • engaging with a range of stakeholders including residents, technical personnel, team members from other departments and external agencies

You'll also be expected to contribute to a strong safety culture through leadership and practical example, reinforcing best practices for manual handling, equipment use and chemical application.

  • demonstrated experience in operational natural resource or environmental management, with a background in tasks such as weed control, revegetation, fire management or similar
  • some leadership experience, ideally coordinating small teams in a field or outdoor environment
  • strong focus on safety and manual work procedures, with the physical capacity to perform labour intensive tasks
  • well developed communication skills (written and verbal)
  • proficiency in using digital tools for basic administrative duties - including creating/updating work orders, developing maintenance schedules, and managing task related resources

To be considered, you must also hold:

  • A current Medium Rigid (MR) class truck licence or above
  • A Construction Induction Card (White Card) - or be willing to obtain prior to commencement
  • ACDC (Agricultural Chemicals Distribution Control) Certification - or be willing to obtain within six months of commencement
