About the role
We are entering an exciting period of change within the Facilities, Fleet & Depot Stores department, as we continue to develop to meet the strategic and operational needs of our growing municipality. This transformation is about people, purpose, and progress, and we are recruiting a diverse range of roles to the department—building a team that is passionate about service excellence, operational uplift, and meaningful change.

You’ll coordinate a broad range of urgent and reactive maintenance requests — triaging, prioritising, and overseeing completion in line with service levels and statutory obligations.

Working closely with the Area Leader and peers across supporting services, you will ensure high-quality service delivery that balances responsiveness, compliance, efficiency, and community impact.

Afterhours work: Participation in a four-week rotational afterhours standby service is required.
