We truly make a meaningful, positive impact on people’s lives through innovative and diversified fitness, health and wellness offerings across physical and digital platforms.

In this role you’ll step into the team and play an integral role in servicing iconic Fitness First clubs, primarily in Sydney’s eastern and southern suburbs, to ensure the facilities and equipment are maintained to a high standard, providing both a safe and functional environment for both our members and team.

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. On another day you could be fixing a piece of gym equipment in the morning and patching a wall or changing a light fixture at another club that afternoon.

If you have a natural aptitude for mechanical maintenance, a willingness to learn and a can-do attitude, we will provide you with the training to succeed and the chance to feel like one of our tight-knit team from day one.

Key duties and responsibilities

• Perform planned & reactive mechanical repairs and provide troubleshooting to gym equipment following club visit schedules to agreed service levels
• 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

• Company vehicle, plus fuel and bunnings card
• Anniversary leave days and additional complimentary memberships through FLG’s Recognition of Service Program
• Be recognised and rewarded by your peers for living our values with FLG’s People’s Champion awards
• Enjoy exclusive employee discounts with industry leading fitness, travel, fashion and retail brands through FLG’s partner discount program
