This is a highly client-facing role with regular contact at a senior level, including members of the judiciary and court registry staff.

• Manage contract financial performance, including budgets, invoice review, cost management and timely supplier payments.
• Prepare and obtain approvals for variations and additional works.
• Build positive, trusted relationships with client representatives, tenants and stakeholders at all levels.
• Prepare monthly reports and run client meetings, including agendas and minutes.
• Review maintenance activities for value for money and whole of life outcomes.
• Support WHS, quality, environmental and sustainability requirements across all activities.
• Suggest practical improvements and new ways of working with the client.

• Sound financial and commercial understanding, including budgeting and cost management.

• Comfortable with digital systems, with proficiency in Word, Excel, Outlook and CMMS platforms.
• Excellent communication skills, with the poise to engage with senior client stakeholders.
• Qualification or experience in Facilities Management.
• Experience with collaborative, relationship or alliance contracting.
• Estimating and whole of life cost experience.
• Environmental, ESD or energy management experience.
• Experience in justice, government or other high-profile client environments.
