We are seeking a well-qualified and experienced Repairs and Maintenance Tradesman with Carpentry skills to join our group and take control of projects and Maintenance across the group assets. We have 6 large pubs that range in age from 3-158 years old, so the tasks are varied and often require a unique and hands-on approach!

We have some venue-based in-house maintenance team members who manage some of the day-to-day venue needs, however, we seek an experienced tradesman to provide direction, knowledge, and oversight and to take charge of the larger more complicated projects. The ideal candidate will be responsible for performing various maintenance tasks and small projects across multiple sites, with the ability to manage external trades and contractors ensuring that all facilities are in optimal condition. This position requires a self-motivated, proactive individual who is not only proficient in tradesman skills but also possesses a valid driver's license, a willingness to travel, and a clean police clearance. 

This is a South West-based role that will focus on venues in Bunbury and Australind but also incorporate travel to our Perth and Kalgoorlie sites. A vehicle will be provided.
