As a Land Drainage Worker/Tractor Operator you will operate a tractor mounted flail mower during the months of August through to October, and undertake general land drainage duties for the rest of the year. The Board own a fleet of modern tractors with Herder flail mowing equipment so previous tractor driving experience is essential.
Standard hours are 38 hours per week, but overtime up to 72 hours per week is expected during the cutting season. Overtime may also be available at other times of the year depending on the Boards workload.
In addition to tractor driving, you would also be required to carry out other land drainage tasks including knapsack spraying, hand mowing, culvert cleaning and construction, piling and tree clearance. The above list is not exhaustive and may vary, as flexibility is key with any small team.
