Multi-Purpose Plant Operator (2)

Permanent Full Time - Evans Head

The Richmond Valley is in the heart of the Northern Rivers, with wide open spaces and room to grow. We're a down-to-earth, friendly community - where you can still enjoy the welcome of a country town, a family holiday by the beach, or a campfire under the open sky.


It's a place of opportunity, where you can get a start in life or find the change you've been looking for - build a home, raise a family, or buy your first acreage. Success is earned through hard work, persistence, and the courage to get back on your feet in hard times.


Our organisation is defined by integrity and passion in what we do. When challenges come, we endure, we recover, and we rise once again to rebuild. Our people are connected through a shared love of this place and in serving our community.
