Company

For 81 years, we've achieved success through our ability to innovate, placing a clear emphasis on how we best serve our customers’ needs. As demand continues to grow, we have expanded rapidly, now delivering a superior range of dry goods, frozen and chilled products, fresh seafood and meat, confectionery, paper products, and cleaning solutions.

In recent years, we’ve seen significant growth and invested in our systems and processes, building a close partnership with Woolworths Group that has continued to deliver high-quality service for our customers and suppliers.

In 2024, Woolworths moved to a 100% interest in the PFD business, bringing PFD exciting opportunities as a strategic part of the Group. Sharing expertise across both teams will ensure our continued success and drive further growth and unlock our collective potential.

 

About this Position  

We’re on the lookout for a practical, hands-on Site Facilities & Maintenance Coordinator to keep our 46,000 sqm site running safely and efficiently. Based in Chullora, this role is all about making sure the site operates without disruption - managing faults, supporting compliance, and coordinating maintenance work.

You’ll need general electrical or mechanical knowledge (no trade ticket required), a sharp eye for safety risks, and the confidence to jump in, prioritise, and get things moving.

Whether it’s troubleshooting a fridge alarm, organising a contractor for a dock door, or raising a CAPEX request for a site improvement - you’ll be the person who gets it done.

This is a full-time position with standard hours from 7:00am to 3:00/4:00pm, with occasional on-call support required for alarms or urgent issues.

Key Responsibilities

• Coordinate preventative and corrective maintenance across the site.
• Identify and escalate faults (e.g. refrigeration, dock doors, electrical).
• Support WorkSafe, OH&S and HACCP compliance through record-keeping and inspections.
• Raise purchase orders and manage minor capital projects.
• Liaise with contractors, trades and suppliers to keep things moving.
• Maintain documentation and ensure the site is always audit-ready.
• Respond to after-hours callouts or alarms when needed.
• Assist with contractor onboarding and site inductions.
• Champion a safe and efficient environment across all facility touchpoints.

 

What We’re Looking For

To thrive in this role, you will bring:

• General mechanical or electrical understanding (no trade ticket required).
• Prior experience in facilities coordination, maintenance support or a similar role.
• Strong attention to detail and the ability to juggle competing priorities.
• Good working knowledge of OH&S and HACCP principles (cold storage a bonus).
• A calm, proactive mindset - someone who gets things sorted, not flustered.
• Great communication skills and confidence working across departments and with trades.
• Computer literacy  - ability to complete documentation and raise requests.
• Own vehicle and ability to travel locally (pool cars available for site errands).
• Preference for someone living within 30km of the site (easy commute).

Bonus if you have:

• Experience in a food-related, temperature-controlled environment.
• Exposure to refrigeration systems or project coordination.

 

What PFD is Offering the Successful Candidate

We are offering competitive remuneration, superannuation and other staff benefits (such as discounts on staff purchases, discounted accommodation, health insurance and banking).
