At InterContinental Hayman Great Barrier Reef, every day begins with ocean views and the spirit of true hospitality. Live, work, and thrive on one of the iconic 74 Whitsunday Islands, where a rewarding career meets an extraordinary island lifestyle—delivering and inspiring incredible experiences for our guests and colleagues alike.

Lead the team keeping a world-class island resort running at its best.

Support the development, training and performance of team members, including apprentices and emerging trades talent.
Ensure all licensing, safety, compliance and legislative requirements are maintained across the department.
Manage maintenance contractors and service agreements, ensuring work is delivered to a high standard.
Identify opportunities to improve systems, processes and maintenance practices across the resort.
Help maintain the high standards expected of a luxury island resort, ensuring engineering support contributes to an exceptional guest experience.

Salary rate $140,000.00 + super
