The Maintenance Assistant is a hands-on role: you will be responsible for general maintenance at Howick Historical Village, which has one of the most extensive collections of early settler history buildings in NZ, including raupō whare, schools, cottages, church, forge, and general store.
This is a varied role that may see you working with our heritage buildings one day and assisting in our gardens the next. You will be responsible for everyday repairs and managing external contractors in conjunction with the Facilities Manager. You will undertake daily, weekly, monthly inspection routines to ensure all areas are maintained to a high standard by providing high-quality service throughout the visitor attraction.
Other jobs may be required from time to time at the Facilities Manager’s discretion. We are a small team, so flexibility within the role is a must.
