• Support the Assets and Facilities Team with your exceptional coordination skills
• Thrive in a dynamic and community-focused environment

About The Role

We’re looking for an experienced and highly organised coordinator to help maintain and improve a diverse portfolio of Council facilities, supporting their safe, efficient, and effective use by our communities. Based in Lower Hutt, this full-time role is a key part of ensuring the smooth day-to-day operation of both aquatic and community facilities.

This role combines the responsibility for our aquatics portfolio, including 3 indoor aquatic facilities and 3 outdoor summer pools, with wider facilities coordination across Council buildings and sites. Working closely with site teams, contractors, and internal stakeholders, you’ll coordinate maintenance, support renewals and improvements and respond to operational issues to help ensure our facilities are well-presented, compliant, and ready for use.

What You'll Do

• Aquatics – including 3 indoor facilities and 3 outdoor summer pools across the city. Support the upkeep of plant rooms by carrying out minor maintenance tasks, basic troubleshooting, and escalating specialist repairs as required, within the scope of the role.
• Support maintenance activities for facilities within the portfolio by coordinating tasks and ensuring timely and efficient completion of repairs.
• Coordinate the upkeep and improvement of assigned facilities and assets within the portfolio.
• Manage essential services such as scheduled maintenance, and emergency response coordination.
• Assist with seasonal maintenance activities to ensure readiness and compliance across facilities.
