This full-time role will initially be on a long term, temporary basis with high potential for a permanent contract. A vehicle is provided for work purposes so you will require a full, clean class 1 licence.

You will also be required to pass a pre-employment drug screen and have a clean police history.

If you've come from a trade background, worked as a foreman, supervisor, project manager, maintenance coordinator, or you're simply a hands-on "jack of all trades" with great people skills, we'd love to hear from you.
