Tree-change opportunity – Maintenance Supervisor
Move from Melbourne to Finley, NSW – where people know your name, housing is affordable, and you're home for dinner every night.
Role based in Finley (Riverina).
Ideal for someone ready to swap city traffic for a country lifestyle.
About the Role
We're looking for a Maintenance Supervisor who can combine hands-on work with leadership and organisation.
You'll take ownership of the maintenance and presentation of multiple sites – the aged care facility, Alumuna retirement village, medical centres and preschool – and lead a small maintenance / grounds team while coordinating specialist contractors.
This is a true working supervisor role.
Roughly two-thirds of your time will be on the tools, with the rest spent planning, scheduling and keeping simple systems up to date.
Key responsibilities include :
Leading a small maintenance and grounds team – setting priorities, allocating work and following up
Coordinating external contractors for specialised trades and services
Completing day-to-day maintenance: minor repairs, basic plumbing-type jobs, door and lock fixes, simple appliance issues and general upkeep
Ensuring lawns, gardens and outdoor areas are safe, tidy and presentable
Setting up & maintaining a practical asset register and keeping an asset management document up to date as equipment changes
Managing & updating a preventative maintenance schedule (e.g. gutters, roof checks, light fittings, basic safety checks) so work is planned, not just reactive
Using basic computer skills (email, simple spreadsheets or maintenance software) to log jobs, update the asset register and record maintenance activities
Supporting safety and compliance by carrying out and recording routine checks (e.g. basic fire panel and emergency lighting checks)
From the CEO :
"What I really value in this role is a can-do attitude. We're looking for someone who cares about the place, looks after people, and is willing to have a go at solving problems. You won't be left on your own. If you've got ideas about how to organise the work better or improve our maintenance systems, we'll listen and support you. And at the end of the day, you can see the difference you've made – in how the buildings look, how safe they feel, and in the way residents and staff talk about the place."
What You'll Need :
Solid experience in building and grounds maintenance – e.g. Maintenance Officer, Handyperson, Caretaker or similar
Confidence doing a wide range of practical tasks: minor repairs, basic plumbing-type work, doors / locks, fixtures, simple appliance issues and general upkeep
Experience leading or coordinating others – a small team, apprentices, contractors or being the "go-to" person on site
Ability to organise work: plan and prioritise jobs, manage a basic preventative maintenance schedule and follow through
Comfortable using basic computer tools – email, simple spreadsheets and/or a maintenance system to record work, update asset registers and keep track of tasks
A steady focus on safety and compliance, including routine checks and simple documentation
Good communication skills – able to talk with residents, families, staff and contractors in a calm and respectful way
Current Police Check (or willingness to obtain) and the right to work in Australia
Trade qualifications are an advantage but not essential – your broad maintenance skills, reliability and attitude matter most.
