• Practical, hands-on role - not just contractor coordination
• 35-hour week + monthly RDO + tool of trade vehicle
• Make a genuine impact supporting safe, well-maintained homes and communities

Make a Difference in Your Community

Argyle Housing is a community-managed, not-for-profit housing provider committed to delivering safe, sustainable, and affordable homes across regional NSW and the ACT.

With more than 2,700 properties across our portfolio, Argyle works alongside individuals, families, and communities to create stable housing outcomes and stronger futures.

We are currently seeking a practical, reliable, and hands-on Maintenance Officer to join our Wagga Wagga & Riverina team.

This is a varied role where no two days are the same - ideal for someone who enjoys being out on the road, solving problems, working with their hands and taking pride in maintaining homes and communities to a high standard.
Importantly, this is not just a desk-based coordination role.

While contractor management and maintenance scheduling form part of the position, you will also undertake minor maintenance works yourself and play an active role in maintaining the presentation, safety, and functionality of residential properties across the portfolio. Exceptional communication skills are key to working with internal and external stakeholders.

What’s on Offer

• $76,376.55 - $81,906.75 + super + salary packaging benefits
• 35-hour working week
• Monthly RDO
• Tool of trade vehicle provided
• $300 annual wellbeing allowance
• Stable and purpose-driven organisation with strong regional presence
• Supportive and collaborative team environment
• Diverse, autonomous role with variety and flexibility
• Opportunity to make a genuine impact within community housing

About the Role Reporting to the Asset Lead, you will support the day-to-day maintenance and presentation of a regional housing portfolio across Wagga Wagga and surrounding areas, including Leeton & Griffith.

The role combines hands-on maintenance work, property inspections, contractor coordination, and responsive repairs to ensure properties remain safe, compliant, and well-maintained for tenants.

Key responsibilities include:

• Undertaking minor and non-urgent maintenance works across residential properties
• Carrying out routine property inspections and identifying maintenance or safety issues
• Coordinating responsive repairs and planned maintenance works
• Assisting with vacant property upgrades and property turnaround works
• Liaising with contractors, suppliers, and internal stakeholders
• Monitoring contractor performance, work quality, and WHS compliance
• Supporting safe, functional, and well-presented homes for tenants
• Maintaining accurate records and updating maintenance systems
• Working collaboratively with tenancy and support teams across the region

About You

We are looking for someone practical, organised, and solutions-focused who enjoys a role with autonomy, variety, and purpose, and is comfortable working out in the community and across a wide portfolio.

You may come from backgrounds such as:

• Property or residential maintenance
• Handyman or trade assistant work
• Facilities or building maintenance
• Community or social housing maintenance
• Trade or construction environments
• Asset or facilities support roles

To be successful, you will ideally bring:

• Experience in undertaking general maintenance works and/or coordinating maintenance activities
• Strong practical problem-solving skills and initiative
• Ability to work autonomously and manage competing priorities
• Good communication and relationship-building skills
• Understanding of WHS and safe work practices
• Confidence working across a regional property portfolio
• Current Driver’s Licence
• Current White Card or willingness to obtain one

Trade qualifications or maintenance-related experience will be highly regarded, but are not essential.

Why Join Argyle Housing? At Argyle Housing, we are committed to building stronger communities and creating safe, sustainable homes for people who need them most.

You will join an organisation that values inclusion, accountability, collaboration, and community impact while offering meaningful work and genuine work-life balance.

If you are looking for a practical, hands-on role where you can make a real difference every day, we would love to hear from you.
