Perth Airport is Australia’s Western Hub connecting the people, businesses and communities of Western Australia with the rest of Australia and the world. Operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week throughout the year, Perth Airport plays a significant role in providing economic, social and cultural benefits to West Australians.

Perth Airport is investing more than $5 billion in new infrastructure so we can support our airline partners to grow, offering more services to new destinations and an improved customer experience. This will be the largest funded private equity build in Western Australia for the last 30 years.

Over the coming decade we will expand T1 International, and build new domestic terminal facilities, a parallel runway, two multi-storey carparks and our first airport hotel. This will deliver one airport for the people of Western Australia which will host all flight services in a central location giving passengers a seamless, world-class travel experience.

The Perth Airport estate is spread over 2100 hectares and has developed a $1.5 billion portfolio of existing industrial premises and significant vacant land holdings.

We service a truly diverse community and play an important role in strengthening cultural, family and social bonds while supporting business, tourism and leisure travel.

We have a unique opportunity for an experienced Grounds Person.

What you'll do:

The Airfield Maintenance team plays a vital role in ensuring the safety, functionality, and presentation of Perth Airport’s airfield. The team is responsible for maintaining runways, taxiways, and apron pavements, including line marking, set-outs, and painting. Duties also extend to the upkeep of airside roads and track networks, vegetation and grass control, and the management of open drains, ensuring full compliance with aerodrome standards and Perth Airport’s policies and procedures.

 As a Grounds Person, you will operate a range of plant and equipment such as front-end loaders, skid steers, trucks, mowers, and other specialised machinery. Your work will focus on delivering high-quality maintenance activities with a strong commitment to safety, efficiency, and compliance in all aspects of airfield operations.

 About you:

We are looking for a proactive and skilled Grounds Person to join our busy Operations team.

You have experience operating various plant and equipment and have worked at similar role before. Additionally, having experience and understanding of aerodrome environment, possessing trade certificates and relevant tickets are highly preferred, but not essential.

You like to tackle tasks head on, and you are a team player who provides support to others when needed. You are comfortable using MS Office and other IT systems, and using new technologies does not phase you.

About Us:

We offer a dynamic and supportive team culture, a contemporary workplace with great facilities and a modern approach to work/life integration. Our competitive remuneration package comes with additional company benefits including free parking.

Perth Airport is an Equal Opportunities Employer. We are committed to building an equitable and diverse workforce representative of the community we serve. We encourage and welcome applications from all communities and backgrounds.

Doing the right thing by the planet and future generations is important to us. At PAPL we place a strong emphasis on embedding sustainability throughout our business strategy and operations. We remain steadfast in our commitment to driving ESPG (Environmental, Social, People, Governance) performance across our value chain and areas that have material environmental and social impact.

If this sounds like you, please get in touch.
