JOB DESCRIPTION SUMMARY

We’re looking for a handy and proactive team mate to join our Facilities and Maintenance Team in our Adelaide student accommodation buildings.

This role offers a wide variety of tasks that will engage your practical problem solving ability and keep your skills sharp and developing on the job.

JOB DESCRIPTION

Why you’ll love it here

  • No travel between sites – you’ll be based in one vibrant student property, right in the heart of the city.

  • Fun, inclusive team – we’ve got a great culture and support each other to get the job done.

  • Flexible and stable – permanent role with a global company that’s growing fast.

  • Career kickstart – On the job mentoring, learn the ropes of the property industry with real pathways to grow into management or technical roles.

  • Perks that matter – think birthday leave, wellbeing initiatives, and a workplace that actually cares.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll be the go-to person for keeping our building in top shape and our residents happy. A typical day could include:

  • Handling maintenance requests and repairs across apartments and shared spaces.

  • Getting rooms ready for new residents, from small fixes to final checks.

  • Taking care of lighting, safety systems, and general building maintenance.

  • Record maintenance tasks and safety checks in our system to help keep things safe, organised, and on track

  • Liaising with contractors and suppliers on site.

  • Helping residents out with a friendly smile when things go wrong.

  • Taking part in an on-call rotation for after-hours support, shared with the team.

What you bring

You don’t need decades of experience, just practical know-how, a positive attitude, and a willingness to learn.

  • Some experience in maintenance, facilities or trades (plumbing, carpentry, general handyman, electrical, HVAC, painting, etc.)

  • A trade qualification or related experience is a bonus, not a must.

  • Handy with tools, tech, and teamwork.

  • A good understanding of safety basics (manual handling, chemicals, etc.)

  • Able to lift up to 12 kg, climb ladders, and stay active throughout the day.

  • Great communicator and friendly with both residents and teammates.

  • Able to pass a National Criminal History Check and Working with Children Check.
