Painter

Join Building and Engineering Maintenance Services and help maintain the hospitals and health facilities that communities rely on every day across Central Queensland. From specialist clinical spaces to essential infrastructure, your craftsmanship will help create safe, welcoming environments for patients, visitors and staff.
This role offers variety, with travel across the health service, giving you the chance to experience different locations while working alongside a skilled, supportive team. If you're a qualified painter looking for more than the same four walls, this is your opportunity to build a career that takes your skills further.
