Vacancy Details
Lead the site. Maintain the assets. Support the team.
Yarra Adventure & Holiday Parks is looking for an experienced and practical Site Manager with a strong trade and maintenance background to take onsite responsibility for our unique Holiday Park and Adventure Park at Stuarts Point on the NSW Mid North Coast.
A key focus of this role is the maintenance, safety, presentation and ongoing improvement of the site, including buildings, accommodation, grounds, infrastructure, equipment and facilities.
This is not a desk-based management role. You’ll take the lead on maintenance priorities, preventative maintenance, contractors and site improvement works, while remaining hands-on and ready to jump in when needed.
Alongside this, you’ll have the leadership skills and commercial awareness to oversee the broader day-to-day operation of the park, supporting the Head of Guest Services and ensuring the site runs safely, efficiently and within budget.
You’ll be a senior leader onsite, combining practical maintenance expertise with whole-of-site operational oversight.
About Yarra
Yarra Adventure & Holiday Parks is located at Stuarts Point on the beautiful NSW Mid North Coast.
Our site welcomes holidaymakers, families, school camps, church groups, retreats, conferences and community groups throughout the year, combining accommodation and camping with extensive grounds, facilities and adventure activities.
As part of the North New South Wales Conference of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, our team works within an organisation committed to creating safe, welcoming and positive experiences for our guests and community.
Key Responsibilities
No two days at Yarra are quite the same.
One day you might be coordinating contractors and prioritising maintenance works; the next you could be preparing the property for a large school camp, reviewing an infrastructure issue, supporting the Head Of Guest Services or planning improvements ahead of a busy holiday period.
You’ll have oversight of the whole site while taking particular responsibility for its physical operation, maintenance and presentation.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Providing overall onsite leadership and operational oversight of the Holiday Park and Adventure Park
- Leading and supporting the Head Of Guest Services and maintenance team
- Overseeing buildings, accommodation, grounds, infrastructure, equipment and facilities
- Developing and managing preventative maintenance programs
- Remaining hands-on and assisting with practical maintenance and repairs when required
- Coordinating contractors, tradespeople, suppliers and project works
- Identifying maintenance and infrastructure issues before they become bigger problems
- Ensuring the site is safe, well presented and operationally ready
- Supporting WHS, risk management and compliance requirements
- Planning site works around camps, group bookings, retreats and peak holiday periods
- Contributing to budgets, asset planning, capital works and site improvement projects
- Can effectively plan and prioritise works within allocated budgets, balancing operational needs, preventative maintenance and longer-term site priorities making practical and cost-effective decisions.
- Working closely with senior management on operational priorities and the ongoing development of the park
Essential Criteria
About you
You’re likely someone who has spent years working in a trade, construction, facilities, property or maintenance environment and is ready for a new role progressing into supervising people, projects or operations.
You don't need to come from the holiday park industry. What matters is that you understand how to manage a large, busy site, can lead people effectively and aren't afraid to get your hands dirty when something needs doing.
We’re looking for someone who:
- Has a relevant trade qualification and/or substantial trade and maintenance experience
- Has experience leading staff and coordinating operational teams
- Is practical, organised and confident making decisions
- Can look across a property and quickly identify what needs attention
- Understands preventative maintenance, not just reactive repairs
- Can coordinate contractors, projects and competing priorities
- Has a strong understanding of safety and risk
- Communicates well with staff, contractors, guests and senior management
- Takes ownership and follows things through
- Can balance hands-on work with broader management responsibilities
- Is comfortable working in a dynamic environment where priorities can change quickly
- Experience in holiday parks, resorts, accommodation, camps, facilities management or other large multi-use properties would be highly regarded, but isn't essential.
- Has a current Driver Licence is required.
- Has a Working With Children Check and First Aid Certificate will also be required for the position.
-
Must be aligned with the values and beliefs of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
