ABOUT THE COMPANY

Step into a well-established player in the property and asset management space, known for its long-term vision, strong values, and people-first culture. With a reputation for excellence and stability, this organisation offers clear processes, professional growth opportunities, and a team-oriented environment where your contribution truly counts. You'll be empowered to lead with integrity, supported by experienced colleagues, and part of a business that values relationships and results in equal measure.

ABOUT THE ROLE

This is an exciting opportunity to step into a hands-on Operations Supervisor role overseeing a portfolio of industrial and logistics assets across Melbourne’s western suburbs. From cold storage to manufacturing and warehousing, you’ll be responsible for driving compliance, managing contractor performance, and supporting the day-to-day operations of 31 well-run sites. With most of the work done remotely, you’ll only need to be on-site for planned inspections or when issues arise, supported by a tight-knit and experienced team.

DUTIES

  • Ensure compliance with safety, environmental, and building standards across the portfolio
  • Coordinate essential services contractors and oversee certifications and documentation
  • Conduct quarterly site inspections and manage maintenance from a risk and compliance lens
  • Support budgeting, capital works planning, and operational reporting
  • Maintain asset and risk registers, and contribute to sustainability initiatives
  • Manage contractor relationships and performance, including regular site meetings
  • Oversee small-scale fit-out and make-good works as the landlord representative
  • Ensure documentation, inductions, and systems are maintained to the highest standard

SKILLS & EXPERIENCE

  • 3–4+ years’ experience in facilities or property operations - logistics/industrial assets highly advantageous
  • Understanding of WHS, Australian Standards, and essential services compliance
  • Confident managing contractors and multiple priorities within tight timeframes
  • Customer-focused, with great communication and a solutions-oriented mindset
  • Tech savvy, comfortable using MS Office, property systems, and vendor platforms
  • Driver’s licence required (GoGet available for planned site visits)

ADDITIONAL INFO

  • Full-time hours: 8:30 AM – 5:00 PM (flexible)
  • Dates: starting 30th June - 29th August, with potential to go perm after
  • Location: Melbourne CBD office – 5 days in office with WFH flexibility if converted permanently
