What you'll bring to the team
Imagine supporting the systems that care for thousands of marine animals and using your hands‐on technical skills to solve complex challenges — does that sound like the kind of role where you will thrive? Would you like to work for one of the leading global companies in visitor entertainment?
We currently have a fantastic opportunity to join our team as a Maintenance Technician at SEA LIFE MELBOURNE AQUARIUM.
About the Role
We are seeking a full-time Maintenance Technician to join the SEA LIFE team. Working closely with the Head of Technical Services, you will play a key role in ensuring all aspects of the building and technical infrastructure remain in excellent working order to support smooth business operations.
Key Responsibilities
* Assist with the day‐to‐day maintenance of Life Support Systems (LSS) and all building systems, including routine repairs and servicing.
* Conduct Test and Tag activities in accordance with AS3760, ensuring accurate maintenance and updating of the testing database.
* Perform fault‐finding and repairs on small refrigeration systems.
* Carry out general, corrective, and preventative maintenance across facilities, buildings, grounds, and equipment, including mechanical, carpentry, and plumbing tasks.
* Respond to and resolve building alarms, both onsite and remotely.
* Support the management of contractors and suppliers, ensuring safety and compliance standards are met.
* Report all preventive, reactive, and corrective maintenance activities in the CMMS, ensuring accurate documentation of works completed, time spent, materials used, and personnel involved.
While the role is predominantly daytime hours, the attraction operates seven days a week, so some weekend work will be required, along with participation in an on‐call roster.
About You
* You are self‐motivated with a strong background in building maintenance.
* You thrive in a fast‐paced, guest‐facing environment where no two days are the same. Your ability to think on your feet, troubleshoot effectively, and use sound judgement is key to success in this role.

* You demonstrate flexibility, adaptability, and strong planning, organisational, and time‐management skills.
Benefits
* Corporate benefits including free access to all our attractions worldwide.
* Domestic and global opportunities to develop and progress your skills and career in tourism and attractions.
* Additional Leave (including birthday and wellbeing) and 3 volunteer days to give back to a social cause you care about.
* Opportunity to be involved with our Diversity & Inclusion initiatives, including our Reconciliation Action Plan.
* Being part of a business built on fun.
