The Eden Park Trust - Auckland, North Island

Eden Park is New Zealand's national stadium, an iconic venue with over 120 years of history. We host world-class sporting events, concerts, cultural festivals, film and television productions, and corporate functions, welcoming more than half a million fans and visitors annually. With a reputation for excellence, we take pride in creating unforgettable experiences and delivering strong commercial outcomes that support the future of New Zealand's national stadium.

About the Role

This is a varied and active role involving routine maintenance, minor repairs, painting and touch-up work, furniture repairs, basic carpentry, and supporting the Facilities team with venue readiness before and after events.

• Practical skills in areas such as basic carpentry, painting, patching, repairs and general building maintenance.
• Confidence using a range of hand and power tools safely.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to assess and resolve minor maintenance issues.
• A high standard of attention to detail and pride in venue presentation.
• The ability to manage competing priorities and respond calmly to changing operational requirements.
• Clear communication skills and the ability to build positive working relationships.
• A proactive, reliable and solutions-focused approach.
• A commitment to health, safety and safe work practices.
• A full New Zealand drivers licence.
• Forklift and Scissor lift experience
• Flexibility to work evenings, weekends and public holidays as required around Eden Park's event schedule.
