Planting and Aftercare Team Member
Visa sponsorship
Trade · Auckland, New Zealand · Contract · Discussed at interview · Visa: Employer sponsored
No office, no desk. Just trees, trucks and fresh air in Auckland. Two Planting and Aftercare Team Member roles are open, fixed term, ending 27 March 2027.
You keep new trees alive in the city's parks, reserves and streets. That means watering rounds in the truck, checking which plants are struggling, and getting stuck in with mulching and weeding. Paperwork stays tight: watering logs and timesheets.
It is a full week, Monday to Friday at 47.5 hours. The employer is accredited to sponsor staff on the Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV).
