In this Facilities Technician position, you will have the chance to build strong working relationships and rapport with our club managers as their first contact for all maintenance activities.

This is a fast-paced environment where no two days will be the same. One day you will attend clubs to complete logged maintenance jobs assigned on a priority basis.

• Ensure all logged maintenance jobs are followed up and completed in a timely manner

• Equipment removal and re-installation

• Document and maintain maintenance records and hazard identification, reporting any incidents or near misses through WHS systems.

• Provide essential service audits, and work with suppliers with warranties and ordering spare parts

To be successful in this role you will:

• Be a self-starter and thrive in a fast-paced, physically demanding role

• Have effective communication skills both written and verbal and natural ability to build relationships with a variety of stakeholders

• Have strong organisational and prioritisation skills and be comfortable working autonomously

• Be confident managing and coordinating external contractors

• Have a passion for the fitness industry and a willingness to learn

Skills/experience:

Essential

• Experience as a Facilities / Maintenance Technician

• Experience maintaining and working from a maintenance log system such as Service now or Jira

• Australian driver’s license and clean driving record

Desirable

• Experience repairing gym equipment

In return we offer you

• Complementary all access Goodlife Gym Membership, plus one for a friend

• Company Car plus allowances

• Anniversary leave days and additional complimentary memberships through FLG’s Recognition of Service Program
