Grounds Person

Aussie World, the Banana Bender Pub and the Shed is a successful tourism landmark located on the Sunshine Coast Queensland featuring a family theme park with rides and attractions, iconic tourist pub and function and events centre. Are you a practical, hands-on problem-solver who takes pride in keeping gardens and grounds looking their best? Aussie World is on the lookout for a reliable Grounds person / Handyman with a focus on labouring and cleaning to join our maintenance team. This is a varied, hands-on role perfect for someone who enjoys a different challenge every day - one moment you might be tending to the gardens, digging a hole, assisting to set up a function, the next fixing a fence, and then helping ensure our rides and attractions areas are safe, clean, and presentable for our guests. Hours are Monday - Friday up to 38 hours per week on a regular basis (occasion weekend for events support).

What You'll Be Doing

• General grounds maintenance - mowing, edging, weeding, and keeping our park looking its best.
• Routine maintenance and minor repairs across the park (fences, signage, fixtures, painting, and general upkeep).
• General labouring duties, digging, moving materials and furniture.
• General cleaning duties across public areas, amenities, and back-of-house spaces.
• Identifying and reporting hazards or maintenance issues to support a safe environment for staff and guests.
• Assisting with basic safety checks and ensuring work areas meet WHS standards.
• Supporting the wider maintenance and operations team with ad-hoc tasks as needed.

What We're Looking For

• A genuine "can-do" attitude and willingness to get hands dirty.
• Previous experience in handyman work, gardening, maintenance, or a similar trade-adjacent role (formal trade qualifications not required, but a bonus).
• Minimum of 1-2 years proven experience in cleaning and grounds maintenance.
• Good physical fitness - the role involves manual labour, lifting, and being on your feet in the elements - rain or shine.
• A strong awareness of workplace health & safety.
• Reliability and flexibility, including availability across weekdays, weekends, and school holiday periods.
• A friendly, approachable manner - you'll be working in a guest-facing environment.
• Must be a flexible TEAM PLAYER, with a positive attitude - aligning with Aussie World's Values.
• Must hold permanent resident status in Australia.

What We Offer

• A fun, fast-paced workplace unlike any office job.
• Supportive team environment.
• Staff perks and discounts.
• Opportunity to grow your skills across a wide range of practical tasks.

If you're someone who enjoys variety, takes pride in a job well done, and wants to be part of the magic that keeps Aussie World running smoothly - we'd love to hear from you!
