Licensed Plumber / General Hand – FIFO 4:1

Groote Eylandt, NT
Remote. Rewarding. Unforgettable.

Looking for a role where your skills actually matter, your work is valued, and your “office view” might include tropical beaches instead of traffic lights?

We are a proud Not-for-Profit, 100% Indigenous-owned organisation, delivering essential services and maintaining critical community infrastructure across the region.

Why Join Aminjarrinja?

Beyond the location—which speaks for itself—you’ll get:

• A genuinely varied role (no two days are the same)

• Salary sacrifice options

• Modern accommodation provided

• A supportive, down-to-earth team culture

• Consistent, meaningful work in a stable organisation

• A 6-day work week with time to explore an incredible environment

• A workplace where your skills, initiative, and effort are recognised

And yes—you can legitimately say you work on a tropical island.
