The Jakarta City Parks and Forestry Agency is offering 1,344 job opportunities to residents through its labor-intensive program, with employment contracts lasting between 14 and 20 working days.

Jakarta City Parks and Forestry Agency Head Fajar Sauri said that of the 1,344 positions, 1,318 will be assigned to park and green corridor maintenance, 16 to mangrove forest maintenance, and 10 to urban forest maintenance.

"Those hired will work for 14 to 20 working days and receive a daily wage of Rp183,834," Fajar said on Wednesday (11/11).

Jakarta residents interested in applying can register through the official website at https://www.jakarta.go.id/padat-karya until Thursday (11/12) noon.

Fajar noted that the program was part of the Jakarta Provincial Government's efforts to create job opportunities while encouraging greater public involvement in maintaining green open spaces.

Besides earning an income, those hired will also help maintain green areas, which play an important role in preserving the quality of the urban environment.

"Maintaining green open spaces requires attention and involvement from various parties. Through this program, we want to encourage residents to take part in caring for the city's green spaces so they can continue to benefit both the environment and the community," he explained.

Applicants must be Jakarta residents aged 18 to 59, both men and women, and hold Jakarta ID cards. Priority will be given to unemployed applicants from deciles one to five. There is no minimum education requirement.

The selection results will be announced on November 13, 2026, and those selected will begin work on November 17, 2026.

"Through this labor-intensive program, we hope residents will help maintain green open spaces and preserve their ecological functions, including serving as water absorption areas, protecting the environment, and providing habitats for biodiversity," he emphasized.
