About Us

Arbor Australis Consulting is a leading arboricultural consulting firm based in Brisbane, dedicated to providing expert advice on tree management and health. As a small, growing business, we're a close knit team of experienced consulting arborists with a passion for what we do. We're looking for a dedicated and dynamic Business Manager to lead us into our next phase of growth. This is a hands-on leadership position where you'll be instrumental in driving business strategy and operational efficiency.

The Role

As our Business Manager, you will be the linchpin of our business. You will be responsible for the day-to-day operations, ensuring our team of consulting arborists has the support and resources they need to excel.

Human Resources: Handling recruitment, onboarding, performance reviews, and ensuring compliance with all relevant workplace regulations.

Process Improvement: Developing and implementing new systems and workflows to improve efficiency and productivity across the business.

Who We're Looking For
