At SkyCity Hamilton, we're committed to delivering exceptional entertainment experiences in a safe, welcoming and well-maintained environment. Behind the scenes, our Property Services team plays a vital role in ensuring our facilities operate efficiently, safely and reliably for our customers and team members alike.

• The ability to work independently and as part of a collaborative team
• Strong organisational and problem-solving skills
• Good computer literacy, including Microsoft Outlook and maintenance management systems
• Physical fitness and the ability to work at heights when required
• Experience with Building Management Systems (BMS) would be advantageous but is not essential
