Merchandising & Maintenance Technician (Field-Based – Solo Role) ???? Hobart, TAS ???? Full-time, Monday–Friday ???? Company vehicle provided (work & commuting) ???? Competitive salary + super The Role This is not a standard retail merchandising role. This is a hands-on, field-based role where you will be the sole operator for Tasmania, managing all machines across the state.

- Travelling across Hobart and surrounding areas in a company van
- Restocking machines and maintaining strong retail presentation standards
- Identifying issues and fixing common problems on the spot using basic tools
