• - Prepare and obtain approvals for variations and additional works.
• - Build strong, trusted relationships with client representatives and stakeholders.
• - Prepare monthly reports and run client meetings, including agendas and minutes.
• - Support and guide the on-site team, encouraging teamwork and professional growth.
• - Make sure WHS inductions, risk assessments and safe work practices are in place for all contract work.
• - Suggest practical improvements to service delivery and ways of working with the client.

• - Strong time management and the ability to manage competing priorities.
• - Proficiency in Word, Excel, Outlook and CMMS platforms.

Desirable

• - Tertiary qualifications in Property, Commerce, Business or a related discipline.
• - Experience in justice, government or other secure environments.
• - Experience with regional or remote site operations.
