A history of working outdoors and being used to working in challenging weather conditions is also relevant. Must pass a drugs test but MOJ is case by case. No license needed but will need to make your way to a site in Frankton and will travel in a van to varied work sites each day. Must have at least 6months experience in forestry and other industries as listed above.
