A Maintenance Manager carries out various duties around a holiday park or tourist resort. You might maintain yards and grounds or perform small repairs and maintenance on buildings and structures. Maintenance Managers attend to any reported issues needing attention and may organise tradespeople to attend to larger issues.
Maintenance Managers should be able to follow instructions and work as part of a team. It’s important that you are organised and can handle several tasks at one time. You may have to prioritise your duties during busy periods. Maintenance Managers must be safety focused and able to communicate well with customers and visitors.
In Australia, a full time Maintenance Manager generally earns $1,350 per week ($70,200 annual salary) before tax. This is a median figure for full-time employees and should be considered a guide only. As you gain more experience you can expect a potentially higher salary than people who are new to the industry.
This industry has seen strong employment growth over the last five years. There are currently 25,700 people working in this field in Australia and many of them specialise as a Maintenance Manager. Maintenance Managers may find work across all regions of Australia.
