At Scape Australia, we do more than provide student accommodation. We create thriving, fun communities where students can live, learn, and grow. With over 20,000 residents across Australia, we combine smart design, brilliant service, and good vibes to make every resident feel welcome.

Now part of The Living Company, we’re shaping the future of student living, one amazing experience at a time.

THE ROLE

Join our dynamic Facilities Team as a Maintenance Handyperson and dive into a world of hands‑on repairs, maintenance, and facility management!

Flexibility and adaptability are key, especially in managing changing schedules and task prioritization to meet project deadlines.

Requirements

• At least 2 years of experience in commercial building maintenance.
• Ability to juggle tasks, thrive in a fast‑paced environment, and deliver top‑notch customer service.
• Effective communication skills and a knack for problem‑solving.
