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
