If you would like to work as part of a progressive organization and enjoy a fast-paced environment, then this may be the opportunity for you.

Come work with us!

At the City of Leduc, we believe that an optimized, sustainable, and forward-thinking municipal footprint is vital to the prosperity of our community.

We are currently seeking a Manager of Property Services to join our team. This is a brand-new, high-impact leadership position created to oversee the strategic development and operational management of our civic properties, leases, and facility master plans.

What is the Opportunity?

Reporting directly to the Director of Engineering, Environment and Facilities, the Manager of Property Services is an entirely new role designed to take corporate ownership of property management, leasing, and land development.

We are specifically looking for a leader who brings exceptional strength in at least one of our two primary pillars: complex lease negotiation or facility space management (long-term master planning), combined with the professional agility to quickly learn and absorb the other. Whether you are driving a multimillion‑dollar land acquisition, collaborating with legal teams on real estate contracts, or modeling space retrofits to optimize administrative footprints, your work will directly protect the City’s reputation, capital investments, and long-term financial health.

Key Accountabilities

• Execute the City of Leduc Lease Strategy, overseeing all leased spaces, proposal evaluations, and complex lease negotiations while acting as the prime point of contact for tenant relations and dispute resolution.
• Drive the creation and execution of the long-term Facility Master Plan, procuring and managing consultant teams while gathering space requirements from across all municipal departments.
• Manage City-owned land parcels, leading the procurement, assessment, and disposal of real estate, easements, and working spaces in direct collaboration with legal services.
• Oversee corporate administrative space management, budgeting and coordinating the purchase of furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E) for both existing facilities and new constructions.
• Administer third‑party operational service contracts, including custodial services, access management systems, and facility upkeep in coordination with Facility Services.

Who you are?

The successful candidate will have the following:

Education:

• A technical diploma or degree in Business Administration, Facility Management, Property Management, or a related field.

Experience:

• A minimum of five (5) years of experience in property and facility management, with specific, proven expertise in lease creation and negotiation, contract procurement, space planning, and asset management.
• At least two (2) years of direct experience managing, supervising, and coaching professional full-time staff.

Competencies and Attributes:

• Strong financial management capabilities, with a history of maintaining strict expenditure controls over multi-million‑dollar capital and operating budgets.
• Certification as a Certified Facility Manager (CFM) or eligibility for certification with the International Facilities Management Association (IFMA) would be considered a significant asset
