Maintenance Assistant - Summer

Looking for a summer job that’s a little different?

Corin Forest Mountain Resort is looking for two practical, hardworking Maintenance Assistants to join our small maintenance team over the summer. This role would be ideal for two friends travelling together who want to work outdoors, earn some money and spend the summer working in a unique mountain environment.

The positions are available to start in October.

We’re particularly interested in people who have mechanical, vehicle maintenance, carpentry, building or general trade skills and are comfortable getting stuck into a wide variety of jobs.

The Role:
You’ll work alongside our maintenance team completing summer maintenance, repairs and projects in preparation for the next winter season.

Work will vary from day to day and may include:

• Assisting with vehicle, machinery and equipment maintenance
• General mechanical work and repairs
• Carpentry and timber repairs
• Repairs and maintenance of resort buildings and facilities
• Preparing, cutting and stacking timber for winter
• Mowing, whipper snipping and grounds maintenance
• Cleaning and maintaining workshops, equipment and work areas
• Assisting with larger summer maintenance projects
• General resort duties as required

Who We’re Looking For

This role would suit people who are:

• Fit, active and comfortable with physical work
• Happy working outdoors in varying mountain weather
• Practical and confident using tools
• Mechanically minded and/or experienced in a trade
• Reliable and able to work well as part of a small team
• Willing to turn their hand to different jobs as required
• Safety conscious with a good work ethic

Experience with vehicle maintenance, machinery, carpentry, construction or another trade would be highly regarded.

You don’t need to be qualified in every area we’re looking for people with practical skills, a willingness to learn and the right attitude.

The positions are available to start in October, with work continuing through the summer maintenance period.

Hours may vary from time to time depending on maintenance requirements, projects, weather and resort operations, so some flexibility with working hours is important.

Why Corin Forest?

Corin Forest is a small mountain resort located approximately 45 minutes from Canberra. Summer is when our team undertakes much of the maintenance, repair and preparation work required to get the resort ready for the following winter.

Accommodation can be provided, making this a great option for backpackers or travellers looking to work and live in a unique part of Australia for the summer.

Two friends travelling and applying together are encouraged to apply.

To apply, send us a short introduction about yourselves, your previous work experience and any mechanical, trade, construction or practical skills you have.

Please also let us know your availability, preferred start date and how long you are looking to stay.
