Ready for something beyond the ordinary? The Shire of Ngaanyatjarraku is seeking a skilled, hands-on Building/Property Maintenance Officer to support remote operations in Warburton, Western Australia.

Working solo during your swing on a 2-weeks-on / 2-weeks-off roster, you’ll maintain vital community infrastructure in the heart of the Central Desert. With self-contained accommodation, this role suits someone independent, adaptable, and comfortable with remote living - including the occasional flight delay or last-minute change. Surrounded by the rich culture and striking landscapes of the Ngaanyatjarra Lands, this is more than just a job - it’s an experience!

Your work will cover general building maintenance, waste collection and transport, operating plant and vehicles, coordinating minor works, and supporting asset upkeep. You’ll need solid maintenance experience, preferably with a trade background, basic machinery skills, an LR licence with off-road experience, and strong initiative and cultural awareness. Warburton is an alcohol-restricted community, and compliance with this is essential.

To apply, email your resume and cover letter to:
[email protected] Enquiries welcome via the same address.

Applications remain open until filled.
Previous applicants will be considered and do not need to reapply.

The Shire is an equal opportunity employer and encourages applications from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
