Truck & Tractor Operator – Adelaide Hills Slashing Meadows, SA Who We Are We’re Adelaide Hills Slashing – a local crew that keeps the Hills tidy, safe, and looking sharp. We tackle the jobs others shy away from: steep blocks, tricky access, overgrown paddocks… you name it, we’ll slash it. Our team is down-to-earth, hardworking, and always up for a laugh (usually at ourselves). The Gig We’re chasing a Truck & Tractor / Excavator Operator to jump in the driver’s seat (and occasionally behind a brushcutter) to help us whip wild blocks into shape.
