About the Role
We are looking for a reliable independent contractor to join our team to manage the installation of real estate pointer boards. You will need to be available 1-2 weekdays per week ideally one day early in the week and one day Thu-Fri. The position requires you to put up small lightweight real estate pointer boards on street corners in the Outer Eastern suburbs of Melbourne.
The territory covers the cities of Maroondah, Whitehorse, and Monash we anticipate most of your work to be within a 10km radius from Vermont. You will start each day collecting signs and materials that you will need for the day from our warehouse located in Mount Waverley. Pointer boards are lightweight corflute boards (450x600mm) and easily fit into the boot of a small vehicle.
The boards assist in marketing properties for sale for the agents. A key requirement of the position is seeking permission to place these boards on private property, and this requires you to knock on doors and interact with homeowners.
As a contractor you will be paid on a per job basis ranging from $23 to $36 per job (inclusive of super) depending on job requirements. Experienced installers can complete 10 jobs per day. The number of jobs varies from week to week depending on the property market conditions.
