Job Description
THE OPPORTUNITY
If you're a handyman or sole trader who's had enough of chasing invoices, covering your own vehicle and tool costs, and managing the unpredictability of working for yourself, Viva Leisure has an alternative.
We're one of Australia's leading fitness companies (ASX-listed, 300+ locations nationwide), and we're looking for an experienced Handyman / General Maintenance person to join our internal facilities team in Canberra and the surrounding areas. This is a permanent, full-time salaried role designed for a practical, self-sufficient professional who takes pride in quality work and wants the variety of multi-site maintenance with the security of a stable income and a supportive team behind them.
What we take care of:
Company vehicle, tools/materials provided — no extra daily costs to cover
Work comes through a system that is centrally monitored/managed – no quoting or invoicing
Consistent, full-time work with a predictable salary
WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING
No two days are the same. Across a range of our fitness facilities throughout Canberra and the surrounding areas, you'll be the go-to person keeping things running. Your work will include a mix of:
General repairs and maintenance — patching, painting, door hardware, fixtures and fittings
Gym equipment servicing and repairs
Scheduled preventative maintenance tasks
Responding to reactive callouts and urgent on-site needs
Supporting new club fit-outs and refurbishments
High-level cleaning, window cleaning, and periodic deep cleaning
Ordering and fitting spare parts
You'll manage your own daily work orders, liaise with club staff and area managers, and have genuine ownership of your region — the independence of working across multiple sites, without the overhead of running your own business.
WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR
A trade qualification is not essential — what matters most is solid hands-on experience and a get-it-done attitude. You may be an experienced handyman, a maintenance all-rounder, or a tradesperson looking to move away from sole trading into something more stable and rewarding.
You'll be well suited if you have:
Proven experience in a handyman, general maintenance, or trade role
Strong practical skills across building maintenance, minor repairs, and equipment servicing
Good mechanical aptitude and the ability to troubleshoot problems on the spot
Experience working across multiple sites or locations
A proactive, independent work style with a strong sense of ownership
Clear communication skills and a professional, positive manner with site staff
Essential Certifications & Licences
Current Driver's Licence
White Card (Construction Induction)
Asbestos Awareness certification
First Aid and CPR (or willingness to obtain)
Working at Heights (or equivalent)
Silica Dust Hazard Awareness — 10830NAT (mandatory in ACT, desirable elsewhere)
Don't be put off if you don't hold every certification on this list. For the right candidate, we are happy to work with you during your initial period of employment to bring your credentials up to the required standard. What matters most is that you have the hands-on experience and the right attitude — we'll support you with the rest.
Desirable
Elevated Work Platform / Yellow Card
Experience using a CMMS or similar asset management system
WHATS IN IT FOR YOU
Permanent full-time role — stable salary, no more feast-or-famine
Vehicle, tools & materials all provided — your running costs are covered
Variety every day — across a portfolio of well-equipped fitness facilities
Free gym membership across our 300+ locations
Paid Parental Leave
Flexible work arrangements and genuine work-life balance
Ongoing learning and development — we invest in our people
Career pathways — with brands including Club Lime, hiit republic, Plus Fitness, GROUNDUP, and more, the opportunities are real
