Site Manager – Yarra Adventure & Holiday Parks

Seventh-Day Adventist Church (North New South Wales Conference) Lt – Stuarts Point NSW

No two days at Yarra are quite the same.

One day you might be coordinating contractors and prioritising maintenance works; the next you could be preparing the property for a large school camp, reviewing an infrastructure issue, supporting the Head Of Guest Services or planning improvements ahead of a busy holiday period.

You’ll have oversight of the whole site while taking particular responsibility for its physical operation, maintenance and presentation.

Coordinating contractors, tradespeople, suppliers and project works

Identifying maintenance and infrastructure issues before they become bigger problems

Ensuring the site is safe, well presented and operationally ready

Supporting WHS, risk management and compliance requirements

Planning site works around camps, group bookings, retreats and peak holiday periods

Contributing to budgets, asset planning, capital works and site improvement projects

Working closely with senior management on operational priorities and the ongoing development of the park

About you

You’re likely someone who has spent years working in a trade, construction, facilities, property or maintenance environment and is ready for a new role and has progresed into supervising people, projects or operations.

You don't need to come from the holiday park industry. What matters is that you understand how to manage a large, busy site, can lead people effectively and aren't afraid to get your hands dirty when something needs doing.

We’re looking for someone who:

Has a relevant trade qualification and/or substantial trade and maintenance experience

Has experience leading staff and coordinating operational teams

Is practical, organised and confident making decisions

Can look across a property and quickly identify what needs attention

Can coordinate contractors, projects and competing priorities

Has a strong understanding of safety and risk

Communicates well with staff, contractors, guests and senior management

Takes ownership and follows things through

Can balance hands-on work with broader management responsibilities

Is comfortable working in a dynamic environment where priorities can change quickly

Has experience in holiday parks, resorts, accommodation, camps, facilities management or other large multi-use properties- This is highly regarded, but isn't essential.

Current Driver Licence

Working With Children Check, or willingness to obtain

First Aid Certificate, or willingness to obtain

Must be aligned with the values and beliefs of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

This is a full-time role requiring flexibility to meet the operational needs of a seven-day holiday and adventure park.

While the position will have established ordinary working hours, the Site Manager will be required to provide reasonable flexibility during peak periods, major group bookings and operational events.

As a senior onsite leader, the role will also participate in an after-hours/on-call arrangement to respond to urgent maintenance, safety or operational matters when required. On-call and additional hours will be managed in accordance with the applicable employment arrangements.
