You will be working for an established and friendly property agency that is well-respected in the industry for its culture and team focus. They are renowned for managing commercial, industrial, and retail assets for private owners, financial institutions, and government clients. They offer modern and well-designed offices, a flexible approach to work, and ongoing potential for career progression. They aim to treat staff as more than just a number and prioritise collaboration and inclusion to build high-performing teams.

Your Opportunity:

As Facilities Manager, you will be accountable for around five commercial buildings in Melbourne’s CBD. Private landlords own the assets, and you will provide tailored advice and ongoing updates concerning AESMRs, special projects, contractor delivery and performance. Reporting to the Property Director, who works alongside you in the portfolio, means support is at hand if required.

Your Key Responsibilities Will Include:

1. Full accountability for the commercial portfolio's management, presentation, and operations, comprising B & C grade assets.
2. Overseeing reactive and preventative maintenance schedules and organising contractors as required.
3. Building and maintaining strong relationships with the private landlords, and providing technical advice and input to elevate performance and enhance return across the portfolio.
4. Ensuring adherence to AESMRs and other regulatory compliance requirements.
5. Conduct inspections and audits and prepare reports to demonstrate any potential areas of improvement or capital upgrades.
6. Run and oversee refurbishment projects, including scoping and pricing of external contractors and trades.

Why You Should Work Here:

• You will have the autonomy and flexibility to manage your portfolio with guidance and support from the Property Director and a Victorian Senior Facilities Manager.
• Their modern and fresh offices allow you to collaborate and learn from other FMs, rather than being siloed in a dark basement.
• Get the best of both worlds! Office-based, with the flexibility to walk to your CBD sites to carry out audits or problem-solve.
• You’ll be joining a vibrant, supportive workplace where culture and teamwork are central. A place where people love what they do!
• An attractive package and ongoing career potential is on offer
