Service Technician

The Estate Upkeep Service Technician – Refrigeration and/or Electrician (L4), under limited direction from the EU Works Manager, will deliver Performance Based Maintenance / Operations, Scheduled Maintenance / Operations and Responsive Maintenance / Operations, to infrastructure, buildings and equipment in the Defence Estate

At Downer we plan, create and sustain. Downer is the leading provider of integrated services in Australia and New Zealand. Through trusted relationships and world leading insight we work closely with our customers to design, build and sustain assets, infrastructure, and facilities. 

This role entails working unsupervised, or as part of a team, to deliver high quality trade services. The Service Technician position therefore requires an individual with the willingness to work flexible hours and the ability to manage their own time, and the time of others, in order to meet deadlines.  The role is hands-on and requires the Service Technician to perform a number of physical activities including lifting, bending, standing for extended periods, and using hand or power equipment specific to particular trades.

In this role, the employee will be required to supervise apprentices, subcontractors, relieving casual and part time staff from time to time. The role may require support in the form of labor to other trades or services, essentially forming part of a team that collectively delivers multiple outcomes and not an individual delivering a trade.
