Job description

• Rare flexible FM role | Exceptional work–life balance & WFH options
• Brand-new premium state of the art asset | IFM Investors
• Take ownership of your building while being backed by a supportive team

Be part of something new. This is a unique opportunity for an experienced Facilities Manager to take ownership of a cutting‑edge commercial asset in Melbourne, all while enjoying a truly flexible part‑time arrangement.

If you’re looking to continue your FM career at a high level but with reduced hours, this role offers the perfect combination of challenge, autonomy and balance.

About the Opportunity

As the Facilities Manager for this newly delivered, state‑of‑the‑art asset, you’ll be responsible for ensuring the building operates flawlessly from day one. Working approximately 19 hours per week, you will oversee all operational, contractor and compliance functions to maintain the asset’s premium standard.

What You’ll Do

• Oversee day‑to‑day building operations for a high‑performance commercial asset
• Manage maintenance, essential services and compliance contractors
• Build positive relationships with tenants and service partners
• Maintain building documentation, reporting and risk management processes
• Support sustainability and building optimisation initiatives
• Ensure the asset remains safe, efficient and aligned with premium‑grade expectations

What You’ll Bring

• Proven experience as a Facilities Manager within commercial property
• Strong knowledge of building operations, OH&S and statutory compliance
• Confidence dealing with contractors, stakeholders and tenants
• Excellent organisation, communication and problem‑solving skills
• A dependable, self‑motivated approach with high attention to detail

This role suits an experienced FM who wants to stay engaged in the industry, maintain oversight of a top‑tier asset, and enjoy the freedom of a reduced‑hour working week.

Why This Role Stands Out

Genuine flexibility – ideal for someone seeking work–life balance, and an opportunity to WFH when needed

Premium, brand‑new asset – modern systems, efficient operations and an exceptional working environment

Autonomy – take ownership of your building while being backed by a supportive team

Stability – a long‑term, part‑time position supporting a high‑profile client
