• Respond quickly to maintenance requests and help deliver safe, functional, and great-looking spaces for events and race days.

• Work alongside contractors and suppliers, ensuring safety and quality standards are met.

• Assist with event and race day setups, ensuring infrastructure is ready to go for every crowd and competition.

• Operate tools, equipment, and vehicles safely and with care, keeping everything in top working order.

• A trade background (carpenter, painter, welder, or similar) or proven experience in a maintenance or handyperson role.

• A current White Card, driver’s licence and forklift licence (or willingness to obtain).

• A strong work ethic and the physical capacity for hands-on, high-energy work.

• Team spirit and the ability to work independently when needed.

• Great communication skills and a positive, “can-do” attitude.

• A good understanding of safety practices and the willingness to follow WHS procedures.

• Flexibility to pitch in on weekends, race days, and public holidays because that’s when the action happens.

• Be part of something bigger – where your work directly contributes to unforgettable race days and major events.

• Work in a modern, purpose-built facility with a supportive and passionate crew.

• A workplace that celebrates diversity, inclusion, and genuine teamwork.
