Job description

Quest Bundoora Serviced Apartments – Bundoora VIC

Maintenance Worker / Handyperson / Groundsperson

General maintenance experience is preferred.

Must be able to work independently and manage your own day.

Current driver’s licence required. Some of our apartments are townhouses off site within Bundoora.

Quest Bundoora is welcoming new locals! Quest Apartment Hotels is the largest and fastest growing apartment hotel operator in Australasia with more than 170 franchised properties across Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom and Fiji. While Quest is a member of The Ascott Limited, a leading international lodging owner-operator, Quest Bundoora is locally owned and operated. We love helping our guests to get as local as they like it.

At Quest Bundoora we’re on the lookout for a new Maintenance Worker / Handyperson to join our team on a casual basis. Shifts are typically 6.5 hours, 8am to 3pm with a break.

The Role

Our maintenance team keeps the property running smoothly and our apartments guest-ready. You’ll work closely with reception and housekeeping to fix issues quickly, so rooms go back on sale and guests enjoy a great stay.

The role covers our apartment building and townhouses. Day-to-day task examples:

• changing over washing machines, dryers and other appliances
• replacing shower heads, tap fittings and other bathroom and kitchen fixtures
• general repairs, such as doors, handles, hinges, furniture, light globes, patching and touch-up painting
• responding to maintenance requests logged by reception and housekeeping
• from time to time, general gardening and upkeep of the grounds.

Tools and equipment are provided. Anything that needs a licensed trade is handled by our contractors, but you’ll often be the first to look at an issue and help coordinate the fix.

The Ideal Candidate

General maintenance or handyperson experience is preferred, ideally in a hotel, apartment, property or facilities environment.

You’ll be practical and reliable, with a can-do, flexible approach to work. You’ll also have a keen eye for detail, good communication skills, and discretion and courtesy around guests. A strong appreciation for workplace safety is a must. You’ll need to be able to work efficiently on your own, and leave every job tidy.

The successful applicant must hold a current driver’s licence and have entitlements to work in Australia.

The Opportunity

This is a great opportunity to work with a dynamic and energetic team under the banner of the highly successful and established Quest brand.

Terrific working conditions are on offer, including uniform, staff, family and friends rates for leisure accommodation with Quest nationally, and free on-site parking during shifts.
