  • Experience in managing fleet vehicles including general maintenance, compliance checks and service scheduling
  • The ability to work autonomously and perform under pressure to meet short deadlines 
  • Good communication skills and the ability to work as part of a team
  • Great attention to detail and high work standards 
  • The flexibility and willingness to attend different sites as required 

You will also have:

  • The right qualifications: a trade certificate or license would be well regarded.  
  • Drivers’ Licences – for manual vehicles and light rigid vehicles
  • Some relevant experience: At least three (3) years in a similar role 
  • Knowledge and understanding: Basic knowledge of Microsoft Office is necessary, and you must be able to work within compliance / WH&S requirements and contractor safety.
