Arborist
Trade · Hamilton, New Zealand · Full-Time · $30 - $40/hr
Can you prove your climbing skills with real work? An arboricultural company in Waikato, New Zealand, with a long-standing name, is hiring an experienced Climbing Arborist. Expect to climb with confidence, and also to support ground jobs and bigger tree-care projects.
No two weeks look the same. Jobs range from homes and business sites to council, utility and land-clearance work. You will be part of a skilled team, with good professional gear, regular training and clear health and safety systems.
Your climbing must be backed by real experience, safe habits and steady results, not just a line on your CV. During recruitment, the employer checks your qualifications, practical experience and abilities, which makes the process more reliable for you and for them. If any certificates are in Indonesian, get English translations ready early in case they are needed.
