Maintenance Handyperson (Facilities Technician)

WHO WE ARE? 

Scape’s vision is to be the Earth’s best living company (so you can see straight off the bat we are a conservative bunch!). We are a leading provider of student accommodation in Australia. We currently have the capacity to provide a home to 19,000 students (and are growing) and we don't simply provide a bed and roof; we also provide a unique, amazing experience and a safe environment to help students make the most of their studies.  

THE ROLE  

Join our dynamic Facilities Team as a Maintenance Handyperson and dive into a world of hands-on repairs, maintenance, and facility management!

The Maintenance Handyperson role involves ‘hands-on’ repairs, maintenance, and supporting service partners alongside key stakeholders such as Operations and Wellness & Hygiene. Successful candidates will work closely with their team to ensure our facilities are safe, functional, and well-maintained.

Please note: The successful candidate must be willing to undertake a National Police Check and a Working with Children check  

THE IDEAL CANDIDATE

We’re looking for a skilled technician ready to roll up their sleeves and ensure our facilities are top-notch. In this varied role, no two days are the same—you could be tackling day-to-day maintenance or jumping into reactive tasks, always ensuring our facilities are safe, functional, and at their best. Flexibility and adaptability are key, especially in managing changing schedules and task prioritization to meet project deadlines.

Requirements:

• At least 2 years of experience in commercial building maintenance.
• Ability to juggle tasks, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and deliver top-notch customer service.
• Effective communication skills and a knack for problem-solving.
• Full/open, clean driving license.

PERKS & BENEFITS

At Scape, we are all about creating and sharing the good vibes. Below are just some of the perks of joining our team:

• Annual flu vaccinations and skin checks to keep you healthy and thriving.
• Insurance discounts up to 10% with top providers like Bupa, nib, and NobleOak.
• A month dedicated to your well-being and health, plus a day off to celebrate however you want.
• Passionate work environment that inspires and energizes.
• Birthday leave because your special day deserves to be celebrated.
• Generous referral bonuses (up to $5k) for bringing great talent to our team.
• EAP, Sonder & Duress support to ensure your peace of mind.
