Work that matters, done with people who care.
Get behind the machinery that keeps our community moving. Across parks, reserves, sports fields and roadsides, your work is visible every day. You operate tractors, mowers and other plant and equipment to maintain the public spaces our community uses and enjoys.
As a Plant/Tractor Driver, you carry out mowing, slashing, vegetation management and general greenspace maintenance across the city.

You complete pre-start checks, maintain plant and equipment, and work safely while delivering scheduled maintenance activities.
Your work helps keep parks, sporting facilities, reserves and open spaces safe, accessible and well maintained. The results are practical and visible, from freshly maintained sports fields to tidy roadsides and public spaces that residents use every day.
This role suits a reliable and safety-focused operator with experience in tractor operations and large-scale turf maintenance. You take pride in quality work, care for the equipment you operate, work well as part of a team and are committed to delivering a high standard of service to the community.
