While the vast majority of jobs (around 92%) are in regional areas, workplaces include office buildings, ports, processing centres, cabs of forestry equipment, nurseries and of course the forest itself. Many jobs provide a balance of office and field work and all rely on modern technology and adhere to strict safety standards.
