As a Maintenance Coordinator, you will manage a portfolio of planned and responsive maintenance works from commencement to completion, including performing the initial scoping of works, scheduling and allocating works to trades, managing subcontractors, reviewing completed works to ensure compliance and everything in between.

You will be a strong communicator (both written and verbal) and possess the people skills required to build positive relationships with stakeholders at all levels.

Working closely with our operations team, subcontractors, and clients, you will be an effective collaborator while also being highly autonomous and able to manage work without direction or supervision.

Due to the environment we work in, the following compliance checks are required to perform the role. If you do not currently hold these checks, you are still encouraged to apply, provided you are willing and able to obtain them prior to commencement.

• Successful completion of a medical check, including Alcohol and other Drugs screening.
• Domestic trade qualification or relevant industry experience to obtain a Building Works Supervisor Registration will be highly regarded.
• Tool of Trade Company Vehicle with reasonable personal use included.
