Job Description

Maintenance Administration & Scheduling Officer /n

WELSS Home Maintenance | Launceston

/n

Are you the person who gets suspicious when a job has been sitting still for too long?

/n

Do you see an unanswered email and think “Has anyone actually followed that up?”

/n

Does a missing attachment bother you more than it probably should?

/n

Good. We might have the job for you.

/n

WELSS Home Maintenance is looking for a highly organised, confident and proactive Maintenance Administration & Scheduling Officer to join our Maintenance team.

/n

This isn't a role where you'll spend your day waiting for someone to hand you the next task.

/n

You'll work closely with our Operations Supervisor and become the administrative backbone of the Maintenance Department — keeping information moving, systems accurate, trades followed up, clients informed and making sure jobs don't quietly disappear into the abyss.

/n

Our Operations Supervisor needs to be able to look across the department and know what's happening.

/n

Your job is to make sure the information behind that view is accurate, current and complete.

What will your day actually look like? /n

Some days will be beautifully organised.

/n

Others... well, it's maintenance.

/n

A client might call with an urgent repair while you're waiting on photos from a plumber, an invoice from another trade and an update needs to go onto a provider portal.

/n

You'll need to work out what needs attention now, what needs following up, and what the Operations Supervisor needs to know.

/n

You'll be:

/n

/n

- Answering calls from clients, tenants, trades and stakeholders.

/n

- Creating and maintaining jobs in ServiceM8 .

/n

- Processing incoming work orders and making sure the information is complete.

/n

- Supporting the administration of urgent and responsive maintenance works.

/n

- Contacting clients and tenants regarding appointments and access.

/n

- Keeping job notes accurate and recording communication as it happens.

/n

- Updating stakeholder and provider portals throughout the life of a job.

/n





- Chasing trades and subcontractors for invoices, photos, completion notes and documentation.

/n

- Building valuable working relationships with the trades we rely on.

/n

- Keeping an eye on open jobs and noticing when something isn't moving.

/n

- Following up outstanding administration so completed work can actually become completed and invoiced work .

/n

- Escalating delays, risks and operational matters to the Operations Supervisor.

/n

- Supporting our broader administration and scheduling team when needed.

/n

Who are we looking for? /n

We're looking for someone who is seriously good at administration .

/n

You don't need to know how to fix a leaking tap.

/n

You do need to notice that we're still waiting for the plumber's invoice, the completion photos haven't arrived and the client contact hasn't been recorded.

/n

You'll probably love this role if you:

/n

/n

- Naturally notice details other people miss.

/n

- Like things being finished, not just started.

/n

- Can manage phones, emails and systems without losing your follow-ups.

/n

- Are confident learning new software and systems.

/n

- Communicate well with everyone from tenants to tradespeople.

/n

- Write clear, professional notes and emails.

/n

- Ask questions when something doesn't make sense.

/n

- Don't need to be reminded three times about something you already know is outstanding.

/n

- Can recognise what you can action yourself and what needs to be escalated.

/n

- Stay organised when priorities suddenly change.

/n

- Take ownership of your work through to completion.

/n

/n

Experience with ServiceM8, maintenance scheduling, property maintenance, facilities management,



housing, construction or trade administration would be fantastic.

/n

But if you're an exceptional administrator who learns quickly, we still want to hear from you.

This role probably isn't for you if... /n

You prefer to wait for someone to tell you every next step.

/n

Because the person we're looking for will naturally look at a job and think:

/n

What's outstanding?

/n

Who are we waiting on?

/n

What can I action?

/n

What needs to be documented?

/n

What does my Operations Supervisor need to know?

/n

We'll give you systems, processes and support.

/n

We need you to bring the ownership.

Why WELSS? /n

At WELSS, the work happening behind the scenes matters just as much as the work happening in the field.

/n

Our Maintenance team delivers planned and responsive maintenance services across Tasmania. Strong administration allows our field teams to do their jobs and our operational leaders to actually lead .

/n

You'll work closely with our Operations Supervisor and become their administrative right hand — keeping the information flowing, following up the details and helping maintain visibility across a busy department.

/n

Our values are:

/n

Accountability. Ownership. Responsibility.

/n

They're not words we put on the wall. They're how we expect each other to work.

/n

And if something isn't working? We want people who are comfortable putting their hand up and saying:

/n

“I think there's a better way to do this.”

/n

That's how we get better.

/n

We go beyond the surface, because details matter.

Ready? /n

If you're the person who notices the missing attachment, follows up the unanswered email, documents the phone call and makes sure a job doesn't disappear into a system...

/n

We should probably talk.

/n

Tell us about a time you noticed something at work wasn't progressing or had been missed. What did you do about it?

/n

We're not looking for the perfect answer — we want to understand how you think and how you take ownership.
