Job Description
Are you the kind of person who spots a fix before anyone else does?
We are looking for a reliable and hands-on Maintenance Officer to join our team at the Barcoo Multi-Purpose Site.
This isn't a "stuck behind a desk" kind of job.
If you love being outdoors, getting your hands dirty, and taking genuine pride in seeing a job done well, this role is a excellent fit.
You'll be the one ensuring our gardens are thriving and our facilities are safe, functional, and inviting for our residents and the community.
Every day is a bit different here.
One morning you might be shaping hedges, and the next you're handling a quick repair to keep things running smoothly.
We're looking for someone who brings a bit of common sense, a positive attitude, and a real willingness to help.
In This Role, You Will
Bring the outdoors to life: Look after our gardens by trimming, pruning, mulching, and keeping our plants healthy.
Keep things tidy: Ensure our paths, common areas, and outdoor spaces are safe, weed-free, and well-presented.
Handle general maintenance: Use your practical trade skills to carry out repairs and keep our building in great shape.
Stay proactive: Follow our maintenance schedule so that problems are fixed before they become bigger issues.
Support the team: Be a helpful pair of hands for day-to-day tasks as they pop up.
This role really suits someone who enjoys variety and understands that a well-maintained environment makes a world of difference to the people living and working here.

About the Candidate
Practical experience: A background in maintenance, handyman work, or groundskeeping.
