Slashing
Aldgate, SA
Who We Are
We’re Adelaide Hills Slashing – a local crew that keeps the Hills tidy, secure, and looking sharp. We tackle the jobs others shy away from: steep blocks, tricky access, overgrown paddocks… you name it, we’ll slash it. Our team is down-to-earth, hardworking, and always up for a laugh (usually at ourselves).
The Gig
We’re chasing a Truck & Tractor Operator to jump in the driver’s seat (and occasionally behind a brushcutter) to help us whip wild blocks into shape. You’ll be slashing, mowing, brushcutting, carting gear in the truck, and occasionally jumping in to help with tree work or firewood. Some days you’ll be flying solo, others you’ll be teaming up on bigger jobs.
If you like working outdoors, don’t mind getting your boots dirty, and think tractors are cooler than office chairs, this might be your gig.
What You’ll Be Doing
Driving tractors, slashers, and trucks like a pro
Brushcutting (yes, you’ll be getting up close and personal with the overgrowth)
Helping with tree work, firewood, and whatever else needs doing
Looking after the gear (basic checks & maintenance)
Working on steep, sometimes gnarly terrain
Being the friendly face of Adelaide Hills Slashing on site
What We’re Looking For
MR truck licence (a must-have)
Tractor experience (slashers, loaders – the works)
Brushcutter skills (bonus points if you can tame blackberries without swearing)
Chainsaw ticket (or keen to get one)
Can-do attitude and decent sense of humour
Reliable, safety-conscious, and happy to work outdoors in all sorts of weather
What You’ll Get
Good pay (based on your experience)
Steady work across the beautiful Adelaide Hills
Variety – no two days are the same
A team that has your back (and takes the mickey in good fun)
The satisfaction of taming wild jungle blocks into neat paddocks
