• Assist in routine property inspections and report building or safety concerns to management.

To be successful in this role, you should have skills including:

• Demonstrated experience in building maintenance or trades (e.g. electrical, plumbing, HVAC, painting) — preferably in residential, hotel, or student accommodation settings.
• Qualifications or experience in electrical, mechanical engineering, plumbing, or HVAC highly regarded but not essential
• Physical requirements
• including ability to carry up to 12kgs independently, climb ladders, bend, sit / stand / walk for extended periods.
• Knowledge of health and safety risks (manual handling, site safety, chemicals, trip hazards).
• Computer proficiency (Microsoft Office & database management)

• Helpful and friendly manner, professional and courteous with both residents and colleagues.
• Ability to obtain a favourable National Criminal History Check and Working with Children check.
