Are you a highly skilled Arborist looking for a role where you can combine your technical expertise with community impact?
We are looking for a customer-focused Level 5 Arborist to join our team. If you have a sharp eye for tree health, love a mix of technical field work and office-based reporting, and want a role that respects your work-life balance with flexible start times, this is your next step!
What You’ll Be Doing:
In this role, you’ll be the brains and the muscle behind North Sydney’s tree management strategy:
Health & Risk Assessments: Conducting comprehensive tree hazard assessments, managing tree health, and running replacement programs.
Community & Stakeholder Relations: Being the professional face of Council—handling customer inquiries, requests, and community complaints with a helpful, innovative attitude.
Report Writing & Tech: Putting your computer literacy to work by writing clear reports on tree health, risk management, and site assessments.
Policy & Safety Compliance: Ensuring all operations strictly align with Council policies, WHS regulations, and Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) guidelines with minimal supervision.
Field Operations: Oversees tree maintenance, pest management, and removal practices while maintaining a safe, efficient site.
What We’re Looking For:
Tertiary qualifications in Arboriculture at AQF Level 5.
Proven experience in tree risk management, hazard assessments, pest control, and professional report writing.
Exceptional written and verbal communication. You can chat just as easily with a concerned resident as you can write a formal report for internal stakeholders.

You are innovative, driven to improve Council processes, and comfortable working autonomously.
The Extras (Highly Regarded!):
TRAQ or QTRA tree risk assessment qualifications.
Experience in contract management.
An MR Licence, ChemCert, or First Aid Certificate.
Council experience is preferred, but definitely not a dealbreaker!
