You will bring:

• Experience managing contractors, maintenance programs and service standards in a commercial building environment.

• Strong communication and organisational skills, with confidence working across client, tenant and contractor relationships.

So, what's in it for you?

• Join the asset at a formative point following its acquisition and help establish strong operational rhythm from the outset.
• Gain direct exposure to Charter Hall and the commercial decisions that sit behind facilities delivery.
• Learn alongside an experienced, supportive team with hands on mentorship built into the environment.
• Build breadth across operations, compliance, budgets, contractors, sustainability and customer experience.
• Be part of a growing account where strong delivery will be visible across the CBRE and Charter Hall partnership.
