About the role
Medacs Healthcare is recruiting experienced Maintenance Officers to support remote and regional residential aged care facilities.
These roles are essential to the day‑to‑day safety and operation of facilities that serve older residents in isolated communities. You'll be the go‑to problem solver on site, working autonomously and supporting both residents and staff.
This is not a metro facilities role - it suits someone practical, adaptable and comfortable being relied upon.
What makes these roles different
- Facilities are often isolated, with limited access to external trades
- You'll work independently and manage a broad range of tasks
- Accommodation is typically basic or shared
- Communities are close‑knit and value reliability and respect
- Your work directly impacts resident safety and comfort every day
Key responsibilities
- General building and grounds maintenance
- Basic plumbing, electrical and handyman repairs
- Preventative maintenance and safety checks
- Responding to urgent maintenance issues
- Liaising with facility managers and staff
- Ensuring a safe, functional living environment for residents
What we're looking for
- Proven experience in maintenance / facilities roles
- Ability to work independently with limited supervision
- Practical problem‑solving mindset
- Comfortable working in regional or remote settings
- Strong reliability, initiative and adaptability
- Full Australian working rights
