Lineworker - Bridgetown

An exciting opportunity for a Distribution Lineworker

Bridgetown is located in the Beautiful Southwest Region of Western Australia, on the Blackwood River 2.5 hours from Perth. 

Bridgetown has a relaxed country atmosphere with that ‘Tree Change’ that is so often sort after, you can experience enchanting misty mornings in winter, refreshingly cool nights in the summer, a blaze of colour through the deciduous trees in autumn and bursts of new colour in spring.

Whilst being situated in this beautiful country you are only 1.5 hour drive away from coastal towns like Margaret River, Yallingup and Busselton where they offer world-class wine alongside unspoilt coastline, as well as stunning inland rivers, tall-timber forests and ancient underground caves.
