Rondinne's story is a tale of courage and inspiration. Born in Sri Lanka, Rondinne moved to Kuwait with her family when she was four. She had lived there for 15 years when Saddam Hussein's army invaded. Rondinne and her family fled Kuwait, travelling through Europe before arriving in England where they lived for a number of years before coming to Australia. If you would like to Rondinne's remarkable journey, or any other podcasts in this series, you can find them on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or through Council's website by visiting our people's podcast.

The Our People podcasts are stories from South Gippslanders, they provide an insight into how people came to live here and what makes the region so special to them

Ideally, you will have some tickets and experience for operation of plant and equipment such as chainsaws, mowers, and small engine plants. A current manual drivers licence is mandatory, and if you have a current Medium or Heavy Rigid truck licence, it will help you stand out.

Looking for something else? We have a few opportunities available so head over to South Gippsland Shire vacant positions to see if your next career move is with the team at South Gippsland Shire Council.

We are currently looking for an individual with experience in all facets of civil construction and machine operations, as well as clear leadership of teams to join our Operations Department.
