- Assist with budgets, report on maintenance performance, and ensure timely communication on repairs, defects, and project progress.

About You

- Unrestricted working rights in Australia

- A trade qualification in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical, or Plumbing (highly desirable)

- Detail orientated with experience in a similar role/industry.

- Valid State Driver's License (class C preferred)

- Excellent communication skills + ability to build strong stakeholder relationships
