- Collect GPS data, record and correlate relevant info for the project
- Work and communicate well in a team outdoors, keeping the standards high and within project deadlines
- Operate and maintain a variety of field equipment (spray units, chainsaws, GPS and other navigational equipment)

- Experience in intensive outdoor labouring, hand week control and/or tropical rainforest field work
- Able to work through varied and challenging conditions for long periods of time
