Join Our Team

Hamilton Island is calling… Are you seeking a handyperson role and skilled in general maintenance? Dreaming of a better work-life balance, surrounded by turquoise waters and palm trees, not peak-hour traffic? This is an exciting opportunity - Bring your experience in building, repairs, or trades and join our team at Hamilton Island.

The Role

Join our dynamic Maintenance Team and enjoy a role full of variety! As a Handyperson on Hamilton Island, you’ll help keep our resorts running smoothly by maintaining rooms, fixing fixtures, and carrying out minor repairs across multiple properties. No two days are the same — you could be moving picnic tables, cleaning gutters, getting TVS working, fixing doors or sanding walls, supporting carpentry, painting, or tiling projects.

About you:

Use your maintenance skills and experience in a variety of general trade duties to work in this full-time permanent position. Trade or partial trade qualifications are an asset, but not essential. You will use your initiative, problem-solving skills, commitment to safety and eye for detail to ensure our buildings look great and function perfectly, creating exceptional experiences for every guest.

You will need:

· Maintenance skills, experience and competence in a variety of general trade duties. Valid manual driver's licence.

· White construction card

· Reliable and flexible attitude – rotating weekend roster shared amongst the team

· Be physically fit for this active role, have a high attention to detail, including strong problem-solving abilities.

Why join us

· Full-time, permanent role in a world-class resort environment

· Beautiful tropical Island living / or in picturesque Whitsundays

· Tools and uniforms supplied

· Resort accommodation discounts for you, friends and family.

· Enjoy discounts on restaurants, island activities, ferry, and a $15/week gym membership

· Lifestyle - staff sports teams, activities and events for staff

· Permanent career opportunities with pathways into leadership and management levels

· Live where others holiday – snorkel the reef, explore bush trails or relax by the beach after work

· It’s more than a resort — it’s a community: Hamilton Island is a fully functioning town with schools, shops, medical services, sports clubs, and more

· A place to call home – many of our team have moved here long-term and never looked back

· Employee Assistance Program

· Corporate discount on health insurance

Although we accept applications for people looking for 6-12 month short-term stint — we’re always looking for people who are ready to build a long-term life on Hamilton Island, just like so many of our team who have moved from cities like Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne — and never looked back.
