JOB DESCRIPTION SUMMARY

Join the Greystar crew and help make modern city living a thriving community experience.

At Greystar, we don’t just manage buildings, we create communities where people love to live. We’re a global leader in rental living and The Gladstone is our flagship Build To Rent community in South Melbourne, offering luxury living where our residents can thrive.

We’re looking for a handy and proactive team member to join our Facilities and Maintenance Team. 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

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

• Flexible and stable – stable hours and security in a permanent role with a global company that’s here to stay.

• 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

• Coordinating contractors and making sure work is done safely and to a high standard.

• Lending a hand to residents with a friendly, can-do attitude.

• Taking part in a shared on-call roster for after-hours support when needed.

What you bring

• 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.
