About the Role
This is a head office based role, not tied to a single asset. You will take a strategic view of facilities management across the portfolio, acting as a facilities leader who shapes maintenance programs, manages contractors and ensures every property is safe, compliant and well presented.

- Developing maintenance programs, asset registers, lifecycle costs and capital expenditure forecasts for each property
- Managing service contracts and essential services, including tenders, project supervision and contractor compliance
- Leading health and safety, risk and emergency management, including training for the Asset Operations team
- Mobilising new properties, including operational handover, managing builders and trades on site, and supporting defects management
- Preparing and managing facilities budgets, and reporting on financial results with action plans to drive improvement
- Working closely with Asset Management, Development and Finance, as well as councils and other external stakeholders
About You
Attitude, initiative and a can-do approach are essential: you take ownership, spot what needs doing and be proactive.
- Experience in facilities management, building operations or property operations, ideally across residential, commercial or mixed-use assets
- Sound knowledge of building systems, including HVAC, mechanical, fire and security
- Demonstrated experience in work health and safety, risk management and emergency management planning
- Proven contractor management and experience developing and implementing maintenance plans
