7 months ago


Melbourne, Australia Water Quality Solutions Full time

**Have a relevant trade or a background in landscaping, water/aquaculture, environmental science, pump technician etc? Keen for a hands-on role in the field with lots of variety but without backbreaking work? We want to hear from you**

**About us**

**About the role**

We have an opportunity for a Field/Maintenance Technician to travel out to customers dams/ponds/lakes to install, service and maintain equipment. This will typically be aerators, both surface aerators and sub-surface aerators. There will also be manual work removing aquatic weeds and algae and spraying needed. While this is a physical job, the work is fairly easy on the body.

The role is based on a planned monthly schedule so there's opportunity to work full time or only on days rostered with maintenance/installation works.

You’ll be required to coordinate with other staff and clients and be a role model for younger in-field staff members to deliver outstanding work to specification, and on time. The role would suit someone who can manage their own time on and off the tools to effectively lead work practices over a range of duties.

- Able to confidently communicate with customers and colleagues
- You’re self-motivated
- You're able to follow instructions, work in a team or autonomously
- You learn fast and have a genuine interest in learning the equipment and maintenance methods
- A strong work ethic with outstanding time management skills
- Current Australian driver's license with a good driving history

**Responsibilities include**:

- Install, service and maintain equipment, such as pumps, aerators, filters, fountains, liner, solar equipment
- Operate boats, motors, spray pumps etc
- Drive utes and trailers to site
- Moderate physical labour
- Manually remove and/or spray aquatic weeds and algae
- Clean ponds
- Work outdoors in all seasons and weather
- Occasional warehouse work or farm maintenance when not doing maintenance/installation work e.g pick and pack orders, clean, service company tools and equipment, grounds maintenance etc
- Confidently communicate with clients onsite
- Manage a diary that records your daily activities

Note: Some travel to country or interstate locations may be required. We currently operate from Somerton but will be relocating to Whittlesea in coming months.
