Permanent Opportunity! As a Nursery Field Worker, you will undertake general horticultural tasks under the guidance of a Field Supervisor.

You will also have opportunities to train in the use of nursery-specific horticultural equipment, tractors and sprayers. We are looking for keen and motivated people who are interested in starting their horticultural career, by learning about trees from the very start!
