Working independently for much of the time across multiple sites, you will be responsible for maintaining essential services, managing maintenance requests, and undertaking both reactive and preventative maintenance of buildings, plant, equipment, furnishings and grounds.

Working closely with the Manager of Routine and Preventative Maintenance, you will help ensure our facilities remain safe, functional, and welcoming for residents, patients, staff and visitors.

Successful candidates will be able to demonstrate competency in administration, information and technology and working autonomously. Effective communication skills are required as liaison with contractors, staff and external service providers is an important aspect of this role.
