About the role
We currently have an opportunity for a motivated Maintenance and Facilities Technician to join our Melbourne based team.
Reporting to the Maintenance and Facilities Supervisor this role will be responsible for the coordination and improvement of our machinery, equipment, infrastructure, and facilities in our Melbourne based offices, factories, and warehouses. You will work within a team of tradespeople, technicians and administrators to ensure an effective preventative maintenance program is in place, facilities are supported and improved, and service requests are prioritised and actioned according to the impact on the business.
You will be:
Assisting with the setting priorities based on changing business requirements.
Ensuring regularly scheduled preventative maintenance, monthly safety checks are complete, identified actions are undertaken and correctly documented in the maintenance database.
Coordinating contractors, e.g. repair technicians, cleaning and security to coordinate activities under their scope of works.
Working with our production engineers on concept, design, support and maintenance of current and new machinery and equipment.
Assisting with the preparation of cost estimates, applications for capital works and overseeing project management of capital installations.
Ensuring site facilities requests are tracked and completed, and escalating issues to the department supervisor.
Identifying critical machine spares of existing machinery and developing parts plans to minimise downtime.
Working closely with the purchasing and administration team members to ensure documentation is captured for storage in databases.
Engaging in completing all site audits including internal audits and implement any identified corrective actions in a timely manner.
What we are looking for
As an integral part of the team within a wider business, you will be a clear communicator and an effective team player that can manage and prioritise multiple projects. While there are technical elements to this role that you will need proven experience in, it’s not all that we’re looking for. We want people who:
Have an uncompromising safety first and zero harm attitude.
Have true leadership potential and are hungry to achieve goals.
Are honest and hold themselves accountable.
Always looking for how to turn ‘good’ into ‘great’ by doing.
Are experienced in managing a maintenance team in a manufacturing environment.
Understand hazard/risk management principles and relevant legislation.
Be prepared to work hands-on alongside the maintenance team on projects.
Have a trade background, and engineering qualification or relevant comparable experience.
In Return
We are a global company with a diverse range of opportunities both locally and abroad, with an ongoing training programme. We take great pride in the efforts of our team members who create a supportive team environment and make ASSA ABLOY such a great place to work.
If you are looking to unlock your full potential and make an impact on the future of an iconic Australian brand such as Lockwood, this is the role for you.
This vacancy is for a permanent, full-time position. If you are looking to unlock that next step in your career in a company that thrives on innovation and design then apply now.
We are the ASSA ABLOY Group
Our people have made us the global leader in access solutions. In return, we open doors for them wherever they go. With nearly 63,000 colleagues in more than 70 different countries, we help billions of people experience a more open world. Our innovations make all sorts of spaces – physical and virtual – safer, more secure, and easier to access.
As an employer, we value results – not titles, or backgrounds. We empower our people to build their career around their aspirations and our ambitions – supporting them with regular feedback, training, and development opportunities. Our colleagues think broadly about where they can make the most impact, and we encourage them to grow their role locally, regionally, or even internationally.
As we welcome new people on board, it’s important to us to have diverse, inclusive teams, and we value different perspectives and experiences.
