  • To be able to do this role you must hold a Class 2 or Class 1 license.
  • A passion for doing a quality, right first-time job, together with good attention to detail, to ensure you get to the root cause of issues and get them fixed.
  • Self-motivation, the ability to work as a team as well as autonomously and have an excellent work ethic.
  • The ability and desire to build strong relationships with customers.
  • Strong organisation skills with an interest in problem solving.

 

We welcome people from all walks of life and celebrate individuality as we know diverse minds, experiences and backgrounds help us to learn and better serve our communities.

 

We want people who show up and get involve. Those who are ready to be part of something bigger and who want to make a difference because they care. Is that you?
