Job description

Forum Recruitment is partnering with a prominent shopping centre owner in the heart of Adelaide's premier retail precinct. The centre is entering an exciting period of evolution and is looking for a Facilities Manager to join the centre management team.

About the role

Reporting to the Centre Manager, you will take ownership of the operational performance, presentation, compliance and project delivery of the asset. With an active leasing push underway and new retailers set to come on board, a big part of this role is tenancy delivery: managing fit-outs, supporting the amalgamation of tenancies and getting new stores trading smoothly, all within a live retail environment.

• Lead hard and soft services across the centre, including cleaning, security, fire and essential services contractors.
• Manage tenancy delivery, retailer fit-outs and operational readiness for incoming retailers.
• Coordinate project and capital works on site, ensuring adherence to building management rules along with minimising disruption on site.
• Manage the centre's operational budget, including forecasting, variance reporting and cost control.
• Maintain compliance, WHS and risk management across the centre.
• Build trusted relationships with retailers, contractors and internal stakeholders while keeping centre presentation and customer experience at a high standard.

About you

To be successful in this role, you will have:

• Facilities management experience within a shopping centre or retail environment.
• Exposure to development, refurbishment or tenancy delivery projects.
• Strong commercial acumen, with experience managing budgets and an operational P&L.
• Solid knowledge of both hard and soft services, including leading cleaning and security contracts.
• Proven contractor management and tenant engagement skills.
• A sharp eye for detail, presentation and amenity.
• A positive, adaptable attitude: open to new ways of working and comfortable being hands-on in a lean team.

What's in it for you?

• Gain genuine development and capital works exposure.
• Play a central role as the centre leases up and welcomes new retailers.
• Join a close-knit onsite team led by a Centre Manager.
• Help shape how the centre operates as it modernises, with resources set to grow once redevelopment launches.
• Monday to Friday, 8:30am - 5:30pm, with no regular weekend work.
• Free on-site parking.
