  • Level 2 First Aid (Desirable)
  • White Card (Required)
  • Competence and appropriate licenses and tickets to operate one or more items of plant and equipment including compactor, dozer, excavator, material handler, articulated dump truck or hook truck

If you progress past the interview stage, you may be required to complete pre-employment screening, which may include police checks, a medical, qualification verification, and an Australian work rights check.
