You already understand how buildings operate. Now turn that experience into a facilities career.

Perhaps you coordinate trades, schedule maintenance, manage service requests or support the daily operation of a building, site or property portfolio. You may work in facilities, maintenance services, trade services, technical operations, building operations or property support. Whatever your title, you understand that reliable buildings depend on planning, communication and following every action through.

You know how contractors work. You can organise access, keep stakeholders informed and recognise when an issue needs attention. What you may not yet have is the Facilities Coordinator title or a clear pathway into the commercial property industry.

This role gives you that pathway. You will join CBRE on a premium Sydney CBD commercial asset with a retail component within the IFM Investors portfolio, working with experienced people who can help you translate your transferable skills into broader facilities capability.

This for someone already close to buildings, maintenance, technical services or operations who wants a more visible role and a long‑term career in facilities management.

Here’s what you’ll focus on

• Coordinate planned and reactive maintenance, work orders and service requests across the asset.
• Arrange contractor attendance, inductions, access and follow‑up, keeping stakeholders informed.
• Support site inspections, record actions and help drive issues through to resolution.
• Maintain accurate facilities, contractor, purchasing and compliance records.
• Respond to tenant and building enquiries with a practical, service‑led approach.
• Learn how a premium commercial asset is managed safely, reliably and professionally.

Is this the right move for you?

• You coordinate trades, repairs, building services or operational work and want a broader career path.
• You may come from maintenance coordination, trades administration, technical service delivery, building operations or property support.
• You understand how a building works and how different contractors and services connect.
• You know the difference between logging a job and actively driving it to completion.
• You want exposure to a premium asset, experienced leaders and a genuine next step.

Here are some of the strengths you’ll possess and the background you’ll need to be successful

• Experience coordinating maintenance, trades, contractors, building services, technical operations or related property activities.
• Practical knowledge of work orders, service requests and the way building services interact.
• Strong organisation, judgement and ownership of follow‑through.
• Clear communication with trades, suppliers, tenants and internal stakeholders.
• Confidence using Microsoft Office and learning facilities or work order systems.
• A genuine commitment to building a long‑term career in facilities management.

What’s in it for you?

• A credible entry point into facilities management without starting again.
• Premium commercial asset exposure that will strengthen your CV and capability.
• Support from experienced CBRE facilities and property professionals.
• Access to CBRE learning, development and wellbeing programs, subject to eligibility.
