Unity Housing Company Ltd (Unity) is one of the largest and most innovative not-for-profit providers of affordable and social housing in South Australia. Our primary aim is to provide affordable, safe, and secure housing for people, whilst supporting independence and connection to their communities.

We are currently seeking a Maintenance Coordinator to join our Assets Team on a permanent full-time basis. The primary purpose of the role is to lead the coordination of contractors, ensuring efficient delivery of both planned and responsive maintenance services across our housing portfolios. Key responsibilities include:

  • Handling maintenance work for vacancies and issues reported by tenants and staff.
  • Arranging and documenting property repairs, including insurance-related matters, and liaising with stakeholders.
  • Ensuring high standards of maintenance work and timely completion, with feedback from tenants and the Housing Team.
  • Planning and executing planned and responsive maintenance per the Asset Maintenance Plan.

This role will occasionally require participation in an on-call roster, with potential regional travel. Car is included.

  • You are a qualified tradesperson with experience across building, construction, maintenance, or refurbishment projects, and hold a relevant trade qualification (a builder’s licence is highly regarded).
  • You confidently coordinate contractors, complete inspections, and make sound on-site decisions within established policy and procedure. Working independently in fast-paced environments, you manage competing priorities and take full ownership of delivering practical, high-quality outcomes.
  • You bring a broad, hands-on industry background and adapt readily across a variety of project types. You are highly organised, solution-focused, and driven by delivering quality outcomes and value for money.
  • You are also confident using IT and asset management systems, and communicate clearly and professionally with tenants, contractors, and stakeholders.

At Unity, our people are at the core of everything we do.
