• Coordinate and monitor contractors, ensuring work is completed safely, professionally and to agreed standards
• Assist with contractor scheduling, access, permits and site requirements
• Support the management of maintenance supplies, spare parts and equipment
• Maintain accurate maintenance records and ensure scheduled tasks are completed
• Assist with ensuring compliance with WHS, safety, building and relevant regulatory requirements
• Identify potential maintenance issues before they impact guests, staff or hotel operations
• Work closely with Hotel Operations, Housekeeping, Food & Beverage and other departments to resolve facilities issues quickly
• Assist with projects, refurbishments and facility improvement initiatives as required

About You:

• Previous experience in facilities management, hotel maintenance, building services or a similar operational environment
• Previous experience supervising or leading a maintenance or facilities team highly regarded
• Strong practical knowledge of building maintenance, plant and equipment
• Hands‑on and operational approach with a willingness to get involved and troubleshoot issues directly
• Strong problem‑solving and troubleshooting skills
• Ability to prioritise competing maintenance requirements in a busy hotel environment
• Good understanding of WHS, safety and compliance requirements
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively with contractors and internal teams
• Highly organised with strong attention to detail and follow-through
• Proactive approach with the ability to identify and address issues before they become larger problems
• Engineering, facilities management or relevant technical qualifications highly regarded
• Comfortable responding to urgent facilities issues outside standard hours when required
• Police check required for this role
• Full Australian working rights (sponsorship not available for this role)

Benefits:

• Free onsite parking
• Join the facilities team at a premium 5-star waterfront hotel
• Oscars Group food and beverage discounts across 45+ venues
