On ground works

Hobart
Derwent Catchment Project
Posted: 27 November
Offer description

Are you a practical, outdoors person who wants to put your skills to work improving Tasmania's rivers, land and farms?

We're looking for someone with solid works experience – maybe you've been on a council crew, in forestry, farming, or other hands-on outdoor roles – who's keen to join our on-ground team.

The Derwent Catchment Project is a community‑based, not‑for‑profit organisation working across the Derwent Valley, Central Highlands and Brighton municipalities. Covering almost one‑sixth of Tasmania, we deliver practical projects to improve land and waterway health.

About the job

You'll be part of a small, supportive crew delivering:

* River restoration and flood-resilience projects
* Weed control and revegetation across public and private land
* Fencing and farm support works
* Machinery and chainsaw operations
* Nursery assistance and maintenance

What we're looking for
- 3+ years practical outdoor experience (council works, farm, forestry, etc.)
- Chainsaw experience (felling tickets a bonus)
- Physically fit and safety-minded
- Manual driver's licence
- ChemCert (or willing to get one)

Extras we'd value (but not essential):
- Excavator skills
- Fencing and revegetation experience
- GPS data collection
- White card

What you'll get

Varied, outdoor work across some of Tasmania's best landscapes

A close-knit, supportive team

Real impact on river health, biodiversity and local farms

9-day fortnight (38-hour week standard) with time in lieu

Apply now - Closes 24 December 2025

If you've got the practical skills and want to make a difference, we'd love to hear from you. Apply below or reach out to for more information.
