Job description

Geelong | Full Time | Monday–Friday

Poolside Aquatics Group is a family-owned business providing specialised maintenance, repairs and project works across commercial aquatic and leisure facilities throughout Victoria.

As our business continues to grow, we're looking for a skilled, practical and motivated tradesperson to join our team.

We're not necessarily looking for someone from one particular trade. You may come from a plumbing, electrical, mechanical, pump, maintenance, fitting or aquatic background — or simply be an experienced tradesperson with strong practical skills who enjoys working across a wide range of jobs.

The biggest thing we're looking for is someone who is handy, mechanically minded, willing to learn and happy to turn their hand to different types of work.

This isn't a role where you'll be doing the same thing every day or working strictly within one trade. One day you might be repairing a pump or modifying pipework, the next fault-finding equipment, installing new plant, carrying out preventative maintenance or assisting with a larger project.

If you enjoy variety, solving problems and working with your hands, this could be a great fit.

About the Role

You'll work across commercial aquatic and leisure facilities throughout Victoria, carrying out a broad range of maintenance, repair, installation and project works.

Depending on your skills and experience, work may include:

Commercial pool plant and equipment maintenance

Pipework repairs and modifications

Filtration and water treatment systems

UV systems

Plumbing and general maintenance

Electrical and control equipment

Mechanical repairs

Fault finding and reactive maintenance

Equipment installation and commissioning

Preventative maintenance

Minor construction and project works

Assisting other trades within the team

Working closely with councils and facility managers

Completing service reports and job documentation

You'll need to be comfortable working across a wide range of tasks and willing to learn areas outside your existing trade or experience.

We don't expect you to know everything from day one. Training and support will be provided, particularly around specialised aquatic equipment and systems.

About You

We're looking for someone who:

Has a trade qualification and/or strong hands-on industry experience

Is practical, mechanically minded and good with their hands

Enjoys variety and is willing to take on different types of work

Is willing to learn new equipment, systems and skills

Has strong fault-finding and problem-solving abilities

Can work independently and use initiative

Is happy to work alongside and assist other trades

Takes pride in producing high-quality work

Communicates professionally with customers

Is reliable, organised and motivated

Is flexible to work overtime or away when required

Holds a current manual driver's licence

Enjoys working as part of a close-knit team

Experience in the commercial aquatic industry would be highly regarded, but isn't essential for the right person.

Must have or be willing to obtain:

White Card

Working With Children Check

Police Check

Favourable but not essential:

Mechanical/fitting experience

Pump or water treatment experience

Excavator Ticket

EWP/Boom Lift Ticket

Working at Heights

Confined Space Entry

Commercial Dive Licence

What We Offer

Competitive salary based on skills and experience + overtime + leave entitlements + super

Opportunity for overtime and weekend work

Fully maintained company vehicle provided following the probationary period. For the right applicant, a company vehicle may be available from commencement

Uniforms and PPE supplied

Opportunity to learn and work on specialised commercial aquatic systems

A varied role where you're not doing the same job every day

Supportive, family-owned business

Career progression as the business continues to grow
