You'll ideally have experience with:

• Comfortable following systems, processes and agreed timeframes
• A current driver licence holder
• Equipped with their own basic tools
• Health & safety conscious

Professional & Work Style

The right person will also:

• Be reliable and punctual, communicate proactively and stick to agreed timeframes
• Take ownership of outcomes rather than simply completing individual tasks
• Be clean, tidy and respectful when working in occupied or managed properties
• Leave properties clean and well presented after completing work
• Use PPE, follow safe work practices and identify hazards before they become issues
• Be adaptable and comfortable working across varied jobs and multiple sites
• Work efficiently and at a good pace without compromising quality
• Maintain clear job documentation, including photos, job notes, materials used and time tracking

Most importantly, you'll have pride in your work, a practical problem-solving mindset and a genuine desire to contribute to the success of a growing business.

What We Offer:

• $45 per hour, negotiable based on experience
• Stable, ongoing work
• Company vehicle and tools
• Paid birthday off
• Training and upskilling opportunities
• Future opportunities within a growing business
• A positive, down-to-earth team environment
