FacilitiesManager

We are the talent partner for a privately owned Australian property group that develops, builds, and manages its assets for the long term. Their portfolio spans retail, commercial, and industrial across Sydney, and the business is in an active growth phase. Their flagship retail precinct in Western Sydney is a large, multi-format site that has gained significant industry recognition in a short period of trading and has a major expansion planned in the short to medium term. The Role The precinct spans multiple retail formats with a diverse tenant mix and a high public interface, and it is gaining momentum fast. What it needs is an Facilities Manager who wants to own the whole picture. The person coming into this role owns the full FM function independently: compliance, contractor management, capital planning, financial reporting, tenant liaison, and sustainability. You build the systems, set the standards, and are the single point of accountability for how this precinct operates. The day-to-day operational demands of a live retail environment and the longer-term plan run in parallel. Both things, at the same time, every day - and for the right person, that is exactly what makes it worth doing.
