Adelaide, South Australia Sturt Stump Cutters Full time $40,000 - $60,000 per year

Want a career outdoors where no two days are the same?

Join a third-generation family business and help keep Adelaide's urban landscape safe and beautiful. Whether you're experienced or just starting out, this is your chance to grow in a supportive, hands-on role.


What's in it for you?
  • Full-time job security with consistent work across metro Adelaide
  • Competitive pay based on experience
  • Career development – we'll pay for your MR truck licence and Cert III in Arboriculture (for the right applicant)
  • On-the-job training and support in a tight-knit, safety-first team
  • Work outdoors and stay fit while learning valuable trade skills

What you'll be doing:
  • Assisting with tree pruning and removals
  • Supporting the crew with ground operations (e.g. dragging branches, feeding woodchipper)
  • Operating and maintaining tools & machinery
  • Working collaboratively with the team to solve problems and keep sites safe

About you:

We're looking for someone who is:

  • A team player with a can-do attitude
  • Reliable, punctual, and a clear communicator
  • Physically capable and enjoys outdoor work

Bonus (but not essential):

  • Experience in tree care, landscaping or ground work
  • MR Truck Licence (must be willing to attain)
  • Police Check and Working with Children Check (must be willing to obtain)

Don't tick every box? That's okay — if you're eager to learn and contribute, we'd still love to hear from you.
