Building Services Assistant (Cleaner)

Be the person who keeps everything running smoothly behind the scenes.

We’re looking for a reliable and proactive Building Services Assistant to join our team at the NZDF Defence House in Bowen Street, Wellington City.

This is a hands-on, practical role where no two days are quite the same. From restocking supplies and cleaning spaces to sorting laundry, setting up for events, and doing small fixes around the building—this job is all about keeping things ticking along for our customers. If you’re someone who takes pride in your work, likes variety, and doesn’t mind rolling up your sleeves, we’d love to hear from you.

A bit about us

At PAE, we’re Kiwis supporting Kiwis. We’re one of New Zealand’s biggest providers of Facilities Management services, and we’re passionate about helping organisations like the NZ Defence Force, retail, and hospitality clients stay focused on what they do best. Our teams work quietly in the background to make sure their world keeps working and moving.

What you'll be doing:

  • Keeping kitchen areas and meeting spaces clean, tidy, and stocked
  • Replacing lightbulbs and doing small repairs
  • Delivering laundry, catering, and supplies where they’re needed
  • Setting up for functions and tidying up afterwards
  • Restocking first aid kits and civil defence equipment 
  • Supporting other PAE sites when needed
  • Always working safely, respectfully, and with a good attitude

What we’re looking for:

  • Someone who’s practical, proactive, and enjoys a varied workday
  • Experience in a similar hands-on or support role is a bonus
  • Good communication skills and a friendly, professional manner
  • Physically fit—you’ll be on your feet and moving most of the day
  • A team player with a willingness to muck in and help out wherever needed

Please note that due to Defence Security Clearance requirements we can only accept applications from those who have been a NZ Resident or Citizen for a minimum of ten years

Why work with us?

At PAE, we do things the right way—even when no one’s watching. We care about each other, our customers, and the communities we serve. We go the extra mile, bring our best, and always think about the bigger picture. If that sounds like your kind of team, we’d love to have you on board.
