Maintenance Supervisor

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)

You’ll be the person who keeps things running, notices problems before others do, and takes pride in how the place looks and feels.

From the CEO: 
 
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 are what matter most.

Why You'll Love Working Here

• Competitive Salary: Around $72,000 to $82,000 + super, depending on experience
• Not-for-profit benefits: Access generous salary packaging options to increase your take-home pay
• Strong leadership and support: Work closely with a hands-on CEO and experienced management team who genuinely support open communication and shared decision making
• Professional development: Opportunities to grow your career, with support for ongoing learning and development
• Supportive team culture: A workplace where collaboration, respect and kindness are lived values, not just words on a wall
• Great lifestyle: Based in a vibrant regional town with a friendly community, affordable cost of living, great local schools and no long commutes

This is a place where your voice matters, your work has real impact, and you can bring fresh ideas to life, all while enjoying the lifestyle perks of regional NSW.
