If you enjoy working outdoors, possess an awesome work ethic and have your full NZ drivers' licence, then this role would suit you! We are looking for a motivated and energetic individual to take on responsibilities of vegetation control management in our local parks and reserves.

What you'll do:

This position involves spray operations and vegetation control tasks such as:

  • Chemical spraying and application of organic herbicides
  • Manual removal of weeds and pest plants
  • Operating spray equipment and machinery
  • Planting and pruning of roses, shrubs and herbaceous perennials
  • Undertake other tasks that may be necessary

Who we are looking for:

Ideally we would love someone who has pest plant management experience, however, this is not a must. As long as you are a hard-worker, with a passion for working outdoors and getting stuck in then you would be a perfect candidate. Other success factors include:

This is a great opportunity for anyone looking to get their start in the horticulture industry!
