About Habitat Creations
Habitat Creations is a family-owned company specialising in Environment, Landscaping, and Open Space Maintenance. Our teams create and maintain some of Victoria’s most beautiful and sustainable soft landscapes, including urban parks, waterways and wetlands. Our Environment teams play a critical role in the maintenance and rehabilitation of high-value natural areas including remnant vegetation, parks and reserves, waterways, remote and modified landscapes.
The opportunity
We have a fantastic opportunity for two environmental bush crew members to join our experienced team, and help deliver an exciting pipeline of projects throughout Gippsland and South East Melbourne. This is a hybrid role predominantly working with our Environment team on high-value natural areas, however, some responsibilities will cross over into urban environments in partnership with our Landscaping team.

The role will involve:

- WSUD maintenance, utilising appropriate sensitive weed control methods
- Installing plants, stakes and guards according to a Landscaping or Environmental revegetation plan
- General natural area site preparation and maintenance, including trimming, brush cutting, slashing, chainsaw operation, biomass removal and rubbish collection

You’ll also be offered an attractive salary package and benefits, and a positive and supportive workplace culture. If work/life balance is important to you, you’ll be pleased to hear our hours are Monday-Friday 7.30 am to 4 pm so you can keep your weekends to yourself!
