Davoren Park, South Australia City of Playford Full time $60,000 - $80,000 per year

Full Time / Ongoing
Classification: PFS5 ($78, Superannuation)
Are you passionate about trees and the urban environment? Join our dedicated Tree Services team, where your arboriculture skills will directly benefit the community and environment.
As one of the fastest-growing council areas in South Australia, the City of Playford is focused on building sustainable foundations and places the community at the heart of everything we do. With our urban centre as the CBD of Northern Adelaide, our city is enriched by growing and diverse communities in new and established suburbs, rural and hills townships, and horticultural lands.

About The Role
In this role you will be delivering proactive and reactive maintenance on council-owned trees across the city. This includes tree pruning and removal, habitat management, planting and establishment of new trees, and operating equipment such as chainsaws, chippers, and elevated work platforms (EWPs). You'll also support tree risk assessments and contribute to maintaining accurate records using our tree management systems. This is a role that requires safety-first thinking, technical skill, and a strong sense of teamwork.

About You
You'll need qualifications in Arboriculture, a current MR (Medium Rigid) licence, and an Elevated Work Platform (EWP) ticket (>11m) to get started. You've spent a few years working in arboriculture and feel confident handling everything from pruning and removals to risk assessments and using machinery like chippers, chainsaws, and EWPs.

Someone who's happy to share knowledge and support your team is important. Most of all, you take pride in your work, follow safety procedures, and care about keeping the community and environment safe and looking good.

Incumbents in these positions will be required to undergo a pre-employment medical and functional assessment (including drug & alcohol screen) as well as undertaking a National Criminal History Clearance or DCSI Clearance.

Why work with us?

  • Ongoing, full-time work with a great mix of stability and flexibility to help balance life outside work
  • Competitive pay with superannuation and employee benefits, including free income protection and journey insurance
  • Opportunities for training and professional development to grow your skills over time
  • Supportive team environment where your work genuinely makes a difference to the local community
