Join a forward-thinking Council offering comprehensive benefits including four weeks annual leave, matched additional super contributions and opportunities for professional growth.

Welcome to the City of Bunbury

We pride ourselves on delivering exceptional services to our community by working as a unified team and embracing innovation. There's never been a better time to join our dynamic workforce!

Building a Better Bunbury Together

We're looking for a number of versatile Construction and Maintenance Workers with proven experience in operating plant and machinery, along with hands-on skills in civil construction. This is more than a plant operator role - it's an opportunity to blend your operational expertise with on-the-ground capabilities, contributing directly to Bunbury's road, drainage and concrete infrastructure.

Your safety and professional growth are priorities at the City, with daily planning, toolbox discussions and skill development in road and drainage maintenance.

Is This Your Next Career Move?

This role is perfect for someone who thrives on variety - one day you'll be behind the control of plant equipment; the next, you'll be physically shaping the City's infrastructure. Ongoing training, coaching and mentoring will enhance your skills and broaden your career prospects in civil works.

Detailed Responsibilities include:

Plant Operations & Maintenance

• Operate and maintain machinery, including excavators, graders, front-end loaders and rollers.

Hands-On Civil Works

• Help build roads, drains and concrete paths by using your skills on the job site.
• Make sure the levels and plans for drainage, digging and concrete work are followed closely.
• Set up and finish concrete paths, lay pipes for drainage and build storm drains.

What You Bring To The Role

Essential Skills and Experience

• Proven experience in road construction and maintenance, including operating plant machinery like excavators and skid steers.
• Ability to read plans, work to levels and deliver quality civil works.
• Hr Driver's Licence (or commitment to obtain within three months) and a White Card.
• A proactive approach to safety and teamwork.

Desirable Skills

• Advanced concreting abilities and experience working from technical drawings.
• Basic Traffic Management or Traffic Control qualifications.

What We Offer You

• A competitive salary of $78,249 (plus super)
• A permanent role after a probation period
• A 9-day fortnight for better work-life balance
• 4 weeks annual leave with 17.5% loading
• 3 additional public service days over the Christmas period
• Salary sacrificing options for additional super contributions
• Reduced gym membership at the South West Sports Centre
