You'll coordinate preventative and corrective maintenance, oversee contractors and maintenance teams, support property projects and help ensure our assets continue to meet the needs of the people who use our services.

You'll have a good mix of operational responsibility and stakeholder engagement, with a focus on asset compliance, risk management, budgets and lifecycle planning.

What you'll be doing

• Coordinate preventative and corrective maintenance across a portfolio of Uniting sites.
• Lead property and maintenance projects, ensuring work meets lifecycle, WHS, compliance and service requirements.
• Supervise internal maintenance staff and external contractors, ensuring work is delivered safely, effectively and in line with agreed standards.
• Monitor maintenance budgets, expenditure and resources, providing accurate reporting as required.
• Maintain accurate asset records and ensure inspections, documentation and maintenance activities are completed on time.
• Identify and manage risks associated with buildings, plant and equipment, ensuring legislative and regulatory requirements are met.
• Work closely with internal stakeholders and external suppliers to resolve issues and deliver effective maintenance outcomes.
• Support a positive, safe and accountable work environment.

What you'll bring

You'll be an experienced maintenance, facilities or property professional who is comfortable coordinating multiple sites, managing contractors and making decisions that balance safety, compliance, cost and service delivery.

You'll ideally have:

• A trade qualification in maintenance, facilities management, engineering or a related discipline, or equivalent relevant experience.
• At least three years' experience in a similar asset coordination, facilities or property role.
• Strong knowledge of building legislation, WHS and compliance requirements.
• Experience managing maintenance staff and external contractors.
• Strong risk assessment and problem-solving skills.
• Experience managing maintenance budgets and reporting.
• Good knowledge of building codes, planning requirements and, ideally, aged care regulations.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.
• A current driver's licence and the ability to travel between sites.

Experience working across aged care, healthcare, housing, hospitality or other complex property environments will be highly regarded. A degree in Property, Engineering, Built Environment or a related discipline would also be advantageous.
