Patterson Rural Contracting is a well-established, family-run business delivering professional weed control, spraying, and land management services across the region.
We're looking for a Spray Rig Operator to join our team — someone who enjoys working outdoors, takes pride in their work, and wants a reliable, well-supported role without the usual contracting chaos.
This is a hands-on role with consistent work, paid overtime, and full vehicle support.

* Working alongside a co-worker to get jobs done efficiently
* Handling chemicals safely and following compliance requirements
* Maintaining equipment and keeping records up to date
* Communicating with the team and occasionally with clients
This role suits someone who enjoys independence, practical work, and being outdoors, but still wants the backing of a solid team.
What's Included
* Fully maintained company vehicle
* Fuel and running costs covered
* All equipment and insurance provided
* Strong behind-the-scenes support (so you can focus on the job)
* A team that actually has your back
👤 About You

You'll need or be happy to obtain prior to commence:
* Chemcert (essential)
* Current driver's licence (essential)
* Car licence (C) class required
* White Card and asbestos (preferred)
* Experience in spraying, agriculture, landscaping, or outdoor work (ideal but not essential)
