GreenCollar is looking for full time Assistant Field Team Leaders to join our teams in NSW, QLD and WA. Our teams work in remote locations where they carry out vegetation surveys for native forest protection and regeneration carbon projects.
Successful applicants will work one 12-day field trip and four office days per month. You’ll play a supporting role for your Team Leader and your team – helping to plan each day’s work in the field, ensuring the data collected is high quality and that trips are running safely and efficiently.
It is important that all applicants understand that conditions can be mentally and physically challenging at times due to weather, the terrain, limited accommodation facilities and limited communication in remote areas. If you like camping and are ok with things being a little rough around the edges, then you’ll be just fine!
Expect to see unforgettable sunsets, stunning outback locations, country pubs and many native animals. You’ll get to meet our landholder partners and gain skills in plant identification, environmental survey work and technical off-road driving, and bond with a team of like-minded colleagues.
