About the Role

PermaPlant is looking for enthusiastic tree planters to join our team across Sydney and surrounding regions. This is a very physically and mentally demanding outdoor job — but if you're prepared to work hard, you can earn far more than a standard casual role and stay fit at the same time. If you're fit, disciplined and want to earn $32.18–100/hr, this role will reward your effort like no standard casual job.
