Weed Control Officer

2 weeks ago

Tamworth, New South Wales, Australia Armidale Regional Council Full time $58,500 per year

Safeguard our agriculture, ecosystems, and community wellbeing.

Let's start with the important stuff. This role includes:

  • Salary from $1,131.51 per week (plus super) based on a 38-hour week.
  • Flexible working provisions and a 9-day fortnight.
  • Generous leave entitlements.
  • Access to a range of physical and mental wellbeing initiatives, including discounted gym memberships and free, confidential support through an independent Employee Assistance Program (EAP).

The Role

Armidale Regional Council is seeking a dedicated and hands-on Weed Control Officer to support the delivery of targeted weed management programs across the region. This role plays a vital part in protecting our landscapes and agricultural assets by implementing site-specific chemical applications and contributing to broader biosecurity efforts.

Day-to-day, you'll be responsible for operating and maintaining spray equipment, identifying and reporting weed infestations and ensuring compliance with relevant legislation and safety protocols. You'll also assist in developing maintenance schedules, responding to service requests, and keeping accurate records.

About You

You are a reliable and proactive individual with a passion for environmental management and a strong work ethic. You thrive in outdoor, hands-on roles and bring experience in weed control, chemical application, and equipment maintenance. Your attention to detail and commitment to safety make you a trusted team member in the field and you take pride in delivering high-quality work that contributes to the health of the region.

You're approachable and confident working with others, whether it's supporting teammates or engaging with landholders and community members. You hold relevant qualifications such as a Certificate II or III, AQF III Chemical Application Certificate, and a White Card and are comfortable using digital tools to manage documentation. A current driver's licence and physical capacity for fieldwork are essential with a Side by Side Utility Vehicle ticket being desirable.

At Council, we believe in looking out for each other and the community we serve. Whether you're out in the field or helping customers face-to-face, our values—wellbeing, inclusion, commitment, and transparency—guide everything we do.

We're looking for people who bring a positive attitude, take pride in their work, and support their teammates to do the same.

If you care about doing a good job and making a real difference every day, we'd love to have you on the team.
