If yes, you're in luck. Parliament House is in need of tradies to keep the heart of Australian democracy beating.
Parliament House is running a recruitment drive for a variety of tradies needed to join the more than 50 permanent staff that maintain the famous building.
Recruitment, learning, development and diversity assistant director Cathy Zeman said the main reason Parliament House needed its own team of internal tradies was to manage a building that was completely unique in Australia.
She said the team at Parliament House contained a lot of specialist skills and recruitment was a form of "succession planning" to ensure they didn't lose those skills.
"We're looking for the next generation to keep the building going," Ms Zeman said.
One of Parliament House's apprentice plumbers, Jon Langejans, said a unique thing about working on the hill was the constraints presented by the now 31-year-old building.
"It's like a little city, you get things here you wouldn't get anywhere else," Mr Langejans said
"You have to find creative ways to do your work. Rather than inconveniencing 800 people, some of whom are really important."
Of those "really important" people, Mr Langejans said he often spotted Peter Dutton in the gym and recently had breakfast with Pauline Hanson.
Of course, the building itself is as famous as the politicians in it. Outside the striking flag pole, Parliament House's most famous feature would be its rolling green hills.
The man responsible for keeping the lawns luscious all year round is turf manager Brock Weston.
Mr Weston arrived as an apprentice in 2004 and progressed to be the man in charge of the 10 hectares of turf that cover the 33-hectare parliamentary site.
In his home town of Deniliquin, Mr Weston is well known as the man responsible for the famous green lawns that are so often a backdrop for important announcements and political press conferences.
In his profession, more commonly associated with sporting fields and golf courses, Mr Weston said there was nowhere else that offered the combination of challenge and positive work conditions.
"You couldn't have the same work-life balance, in this industry, at any other workplace," he said.
He said the landscaping team took pride in the fact thousands of visitors appreciated their hard work to add the aesthetic of Parliament House.
In fact, his current desktop screen saver is a photo of he and Prime Minister Scott Morrison admiring the lawns - another perk of the job.
Both Mr Langejans and Mr Weston agreed Parliament House offered great conditions, not only the free parking and gym access but the tight-knit team and opportunities for career progression.
"You'll never find a better trade job," Mr Langejans said.
Parliament House is recruiting for up to 15 different trades, including electricians, plumbers, furniture restorers/finishers, painters, gardeners, stonemasons.
The only specific requirements advertised are experience in the role and being able to obtain a security clearance.
Ms Zeman said Parliament House was looking for motivated people that wanted to start a unique career opportunity.
She said it invested in the right people and most ended up having long careers on the hill.
Interested applicants need to apply by November 14 and should visit the Department of Parliamentary Services website.
