Descrizione del lavoro

Your worksite changes with the landscape – Lilydale | Chirnside Park | Mooroolbark | Evelyn | Kinglake | Yarra Glen

You’ve put in the work to become a qualified Climber. Now take those skills somewhere they’ll be recognised, backed and put to use across one of Victoria’s most varied outdoor regions.

Picture starting your day among the leafy streets of Lilydale and Mooroolbark, moving through the open country and vineyards around Yarra Glen, or working beneath the towering forest canopy near Kinglake. You’ll travel across the region, climbing among leafy suburban streets, open farmland, vineyards and forested ranges while building a long-term career.

What you’ll actually be doing: You’ll climb and move through tree canopies to prune or remove branches growing too close to the electricity network, helping maintain safe clearances and reduce the risk of outages, fires and storm damage. Every site brings a different tree, access challenge and climbing plan – this is skilled, technical work where good judgement matters.

Why choose Active:

• Earn $36 - $47 per hour (incl. super)
• Monthly RDOs (Rostered Days Off)
• Daily travel allowances LAHA when working away from home
• Plenty of overtime opportunities

You know your way around a canopy, take pride in clean, controlled work and want more than just another climbing job. You want variety, a dependable crew and the chance to work across changing terrain without giving up the security of permanent employment.
