Hays.com.au  is the main Facilities Management agency, but a lot of the big companies advertise direct.  Seek.com.au is where most jobs are advertised.

Don't get your hopes up about finding a job before you arrive.  It's likely you'll have to wait until you get here.

Thanks again, and I won't hold my hopes up, it's just good to have the information...

Thanks again

I recall you're applying for a partner visa?   

Maintenance is maintenance. I assume you arrange tradesmen to do the work rather than do it yourself.

Council housing here is called Housing Commission and they do exist so those jobs do come up now and then. However you could also manage maintenance for old folks' homes.  There are companies (usually called Facilities Management companies) who provide maintenance services for offices or schools or apartment blocks.

You'd look for jobs with titles like Housing Maintenance Manager, Housing Asset Maintenance Manager, Facilities Maintenance, Facilities Manager, Repairs & Maintenance Supervisor.

 

Thanks for your reply , this was really helpful..is there any agencies you could recommend that advertise these sorts of jobs , any recommendations would be really appreciated

Many thanks

Chris
