Line Marker

As our next Line Marker, you'll play a hands-on role in maintaining the road infrastructure that keeps our community safe and connected. From installing and maintaining road markings to supporting storm response and drainage activities, you'll be part of a team that delivers visible outcomes for our city every day.

But we're not just offering a job. We're offering a career with an organisation that genuinely invests in its people. We know that great people want more than a pay packet. That's why we've built a workplace where wellbeing, flexibility, development and inclusion are part of everyday life.

At PAE, you’ll enjoy

• A 9-day fortnight, giving you more time for the things that matter outside of work.
•  Free onsite parking at our locations, helping make your commute easier.
•  A range of generous leave options, including purchased leave, parental leave, cultural leave, volunteer leave, emergency services leave and bereavement leave.
• Access to health and wellbeing initiatives, including onsite physio support, skin checks and our Employee Assistance Program.
• Ongoing learning and development opportunities to help you build your skills and grow your career, including leadership development programs.

This is a Full-time Permanent role.

About Us 

At the City of Port Adelaide Enfield (PAE), we’re building a welcoming, liveable city, made by people.

Our focus is on community, our economy, environmental sustainability and building high-quality places for people to enjoy. We’re on an ambitious trajectory, but our organisation is up for the challenge.

At PAE, we’re involved in all sorts of things - major construction through to environmental management, organising events, social infrastructure planning, and library services. We are proud of offering a wide range of accessible services and programs to our community.

You don’t need experience in local government for this role - we’re looking for transferrable skills and a great attitude.

Now’s a great time to be part of PAE.

Working within our Drainage and Linemarking team, you'll:

• Install, maintain and remove line marking to Australian Standards
• Interpret road and traffic plans
• Set out and spot mark works
• Operate and maintain relevant plant and equipment

• Support drainage operations during storm events and periods of inclement weather

About You

You're a proactive and reliable team player with a positive, can-do attitude and a genuine commitment to delivering high-quality work. You take pride in being respectful and trustworthy in every interaction, whether working with colleagues, contractors or members of the community.

You enjoy being part of a diverse and supportive team, while also having the confidence to work independently when needed. You're solutions-focused, able to follow directions, use initiative and adapt to changing priorities. Most importantly, you're invested in your own growth, open to new opportunities and always looking for ways to learn, improve and contribute.

To be successful, you'll ideally have:

• An MR Class Truck Licence is essential.
• A Construction Industry White Card is essential.
