Your role

The Maintenance Coordinator supports the Lead Maintenance Coordinator to deliver effective maintenance services and ensure customer expectations and contractual obligations are met. The role is responsible for coordinating maintenance programs, managing stakeholder relationships, monitoring contractor performance, and delivering maintenance outcomes within agreed timeframes, budgets and quality standards across multiple sites.

What you’ll do

A technical, trade or property-related background would be highly regarded, along with a sound understanding of statutory maintenance requirements, relevant legislation, and the prioritisation of reactive, planned preventative and major periodic maintenance activities.

This role would suit a motivated and proactive individual who is passionate about maintenance and delivering quality customer outcomes.

The successful candidate will be confident engaging with stakeholders, presenting information, managing competing priorities and working both independently and as part of a collaborative team.

Desirable qualifications, experience and skills:

• Qualification, trade certificate or relevant experience in facilities management, building, construction, maintenance, asset management or a related field.
• Experience managing maintenance contracts and service providers across a large property portfolio.
• Knowledge of maintenance planning, asset management principles, compliance requirements and risk management.
