Description

Looking for a hands‑on outdoor career where every day is different? Join a professional tree management team as an Arborist Trainee, learn from experienced arborists, and build a long‑term trade while caring for urban trees and green spaces.

As an Arborist Trainee, you will:

  • Learn practical arboriculture skills including tree pruning, removals, planting, and maintenance
  • Assist experienced arborists with climbing, rigging, and ground operations
  • Use and maintain tools and equipment safely
  • Work across parks, streetscapes, and public open spaces
  • Undertake formal training as part of a nationally recognised qualification

What We’re Looking For

  • A genuine interest in tree care, environmental work, or outdoor trades
  • Willingness to learn and work safely as part of a team
  • Good physical fitness and the ability to work outdoors in all conditions
  • A strong work ethic and positive attitude
  • Driver’s licence (or working towards one) is desirable
  • No previous arborist experience required — full training provided

What’s On Offer

  • Paid traineeship with structured, on‑the‑job learning
  • Opportunity to complete Certificate III in Arboriculture
  • Work alongside skilled mentors in a supportive team environment
  • Daytime hours, promoting strong work–life balance
  • Comprehensive training, PPE, and safety‑focused culture
  • Secure employment with clear career progression pathways
  • Meaningful work that contributes to healthier urban environments

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Build a skilled trade with long‑term job prospects
  • Learn specialised climbing and tree care techniques
  • Excellent pathway into qualified arborist or related outdoor roles
  • Ideal for school leavers, career changers, or those wanting practical work with purpose
