• Keeping accurate records and completing site documentation

New to wind? That's ok.

• Overtime available
• Accommodation provided on site (house or camp)
• $80 per day LAHA to cover meals
• Long-term work through to at least mid-2027
• Experience on one of the largest wind farms in Australia

About the area

The Southern Downs is a great part of Queensland to spend some time in. On your days off you've got country towns, the Granite Belt wineries, national parks and open country nearby. It's a cooler climate than the coast too, which helps in the middle of summer.

Please Note:

This role involves site-based work in Mount Gravatt and coverage from 27/07 to early December.
