Job description

Playground Technician – Assembly, Installation & Maintenance

You'll be part of our assembly, installation and maintenance team, working across two types of jobs: new builds — assembling completed playground structures at our Cromer factory, then travelling to the client's site anywhere in Australia to install them; and maintenance visits — returning to existing playgrounds to carry out inspections, servicing and repairs. Five days a week, Monday to Friday. Some flexibility with hours is required depending on the job. The work isn't physically gruelling but it does require someone who shows up every day with the right attitude and takes pride in a job well done. Interstate travel is part of the role — typically a few trips per year, with overnight stays of up to 4 nights at a time. All flights, accommodation and expenses are fully covered.
