Business Overview
A-Star Sports Nets is a leading force in Australian sports facilities, specialising in sports netting solutions for elite-level clubs and organisations across the AFL, NRL, Cricket, Rugby, Soccer, and Golf, as well as world-class facilities for private schools, councils, and high-end commercial projects. Based in Carrum Downs, Melbourne, with a growing presence in Sydney, we deliver cutting-edge projects that shape the future of Australian sports facilities.

Who will thrive with us
Our team values absolute honesty, discipline, and pride in doing a great job. If you’re hard-working by nature, reliable, and enjoy practical, hands-on work, you’ll fit right in. We look out for each other, work together, and often catch up socially. This role suits someone who is naturally a very early riser and finds satisfaction in daily routine. A person who isn’t afraid to admit when they’re wrong, embraces feedback without hesitation and has a genuine growth mindset.

About the role
You’ll help our Site Manager and small team get jobs done on time and safely. This is hands-on work that requires a level of strength, fitness, and stamina with your days comprising of lifting, measuring, setting out, installing nets, supporting concrete works, footings, crane operations, and other civil tasks. You’ll work safely at heights, rigging, and hanging nets, and use tools and equipment correctly (training provided). You’ll assist with daily site tasks, handle materials, keep the site organised and efficient, and travel across Victoria or interstate as needed. This is a great chance to be mentored and taught on the job, learn the ropes of construction, explore different trades, and build a career in an industry many others would love to break into.

Why this work is different
Unlike the grind of residential or general construction, sporting facility projects can offer a career with purpose and status. For example, imagine working on elite-level environments for AFL clubs like Collingwood, Hawthorn, Carlton, Richmond, Western Bulldogs, and the Sydney Swans like we have in the past few years. This isn’t just construction work; it’s contributing to legacy projects that shape the sporting landscape of Australia. This is just a few clubs from one sport, extrapolate that across clubs and facilities across Cricket, NRL, Union, Soccer, Golf, Australia’s biggest councils and commercial projects and you are touching the surface of your career with us. In other industries, your weeks can feel like a combat zone. The sports netting and facility build space moves at a different pace, much more methodical and predictable, with simpler building techniques. With us, you’ll find the triple threat of a career that matters, a lifestyle that fits, and the satisfaction of working in a strong culture.
