Maintenance Carpenter / Handyman

Maintenance Operatives • Klemzig, South Australia 5087, Australia • Full-time

Description

If you want to join a team that is big enough to support you, but not too big that you’re just a number, then keep reading…

Stop chasing overdue invoices or breaking your back lifting heavy LVLs. Start enjoying company BBQs, job security, and a manageable workload.

We’re looking to recruit a couple new Maintenance Carpenters or general Handymans to join our Maintenance Operatives team.

About the role:

You’ll be joining our Asset Services department led by workforce Operations Manager (and Port Supporter…) Paul Wightman. The team consist of a bunch of mixed trades backgrounds who undertake maintenance work across our core client groups including Defence, Childcares, Schools, Councils and Australia Post. Depending on your background and skills, a typical day might include patching a wall, hanging a door, tiling a splashback or topping up a sand pit.

Here are a few things we think will make you ideal for this role:

  • Trade background in carpentry or joinery are preferred, but previous history of building maintenance is highly valued.
  • You’re accountable for your work and complete jobs with a sense of pride.
  • Hold a current drivers licence.
  • Hold or be able to obtain a Police Clearance and Working with Children Check.
  • Display good communication skills.

Although not essential, it would be great if you have:

  • First Aid Certificate.
  • Working at Heights Ticket.
  • Elevated Work Platform Ticket.

Here are some reasons why we hope you’ll love working for us:

  • Company vehicle
  • Optional working away opportunities
  • Career advancement through to Project Supervision or Site Management
  • Personal Bunnings discount card.
  • Exclusive staff discounts at over 400+ retailers
  • Onsite gym facility
  • Discounted Health Insurance
  • Training and development to support your career
  • Peer recognition program
  • Employee Assistance Program
  • Salary sacrifice options
  • Guest speakers to support personal interests – financial planning advice
  • Job security
  • Fundraising initiatives
  • Staff events

And here are four reasons why we’re afraid you might not:

  • We use a bit of technology including for your timesheets, you don’t need to be a computer wiz but you’ll need to be prepared to learn a new system or two.
  • If you’re interested in large project carpentry or lots of work on construction sites, we have other roles for that, and our Maintenance Operative is not your ideal fit.
  • If you’re not prepared to roll up your sleeves and work as a team to get the job done, then this isn’t the role for you.
  • We rely on trust and independence, we’re not into micro-management or hand holding. If you find it hard to take ownership and be held accountable, we’re probably not the best choice for you.
