Job description

Overview

Job Summary

Are you passionate, energetic, and detail-oriented with strong technical skills? Our client is a top-tier investment company with over fifty years of experience in managing and curating a diverse portfolio of properties across South Africa. Their portfolio includes commercial, retail, and industrial properties, all funded solely through shareholder investments. With almost 30 buildings nationwide and a solid track record of financial stability and profitability, they're on the lookout for a dynamic Facilities Manager to join their Cape Town team.

As the Facilities Manager, you’ll be handling the facilities and maintenance for their properties in Cape Town. This role is perfect for someone who loves variety and doesn’t mind being on the move, as you’ll be traveling between sites rather than being based at just one. You’ll be managing both the technical (hard) and non-technical (soft) services to ensure everything runs smoothly. This includes coordinating regular and preventive maintenance activities, developing and managing budgets, compiling reports and liaising with external vendors and contractors. You’ll also be working closely with the Head of Facilities and Centre Management to align on strategic goals and operational needs. It’s a role that combines technical know-how with a fair bit of admin work, so we’re looking for someone who can handle both with ease.

Responsibilities

• Handle facilities and maintenance for properties in Cape Town, traveling between sites.
• Manage both technical (hard) and non-technical (soft) services to ensure smooth operations.
• Coordinate regular and preventive maintenance activities.
• Develop and manage facilities budgets; monitor expenditures.
• Compile reports and liaise with external vendors and contractors.
• Collaborate with the Head of Facilities and Centre Management to align on strategic goals and operational needs.
• Perform related administrative duties as part of facilities management.

Qualifications

• 3–5 years of experience in facilities management; preferably in a retail environment.
• Technically savvy with a hands-on approach to problem solving; meticulous attention to detail.
• Ability to manage multiple sites independently without constant supervision.
• Proactive, enthusiastic attitude and strong organizational skills.
