The Role

As a Municipal Worker (Valley Crew), your work location will be based in the Fingal Valley, and you will play an important role in maintaining and improving the parks, roads, stormwater infrastructure, recreation areas and public spaces that our community uses every day.

No two days are the same. One day you might be repairing a footpath, maintaining a park or operating machinery, while the next you could be assisting with drainage works, preparing graves, undertaking playground inspections, responding to community requests or supporting capital projects.

You’ll work as part of a team that takes pride in delivering quality outcomes for the Break O’Day community.

This is a hands-on, physically active role suited to someone who enjoys working outdoors, operating plant and equipment, and contributing to projects that make a visible difference. The position also participates in Council’s after-hours on-call roster and offers opportunities to develop additional skills and licences over time.

Person we are looking for

We’re looking for someone who enjoys outdoor work and takes pride in doing a job well.

You’ll be a reliable team player with a strong work ethic, a positive attitude and a commitment to working safely. You enjoy variety, can work with limited supervision and are happy to tackle whatever the day brings.

Ideally, you’ll have experience in municipal maintenance, civil construction, parks and gardens, roads, drainage or similar industries, along with experience operating plant and equipment. However, just as important is your willingness to learn, contribute to the team and provide great service to our community.
