This is a hands-on Operations Manager role across a well-established Canberra shopping centre, with responsibility for the day-to-day operation, presentation and performance of the asset.

You’ll have genuine ownership across building services, contractors, CAPEX, budgets, compliance and tenant fit-outs.

• BMS, HVAC, electrical and fire systems
• Security, cleaning and landscaping contracts
• Preventative and reactive maintenance
• Contractor tenders, quotes and service agreements
• WHS, compliance and essential services

• Overall presentation and upkeep of the asset

You’ll ideally be an experienced:

• Facilities Manager
• Senior Facilities Manager
• Assistant Operations Manager
• Operations Manager

Experience within shopping centres, retail or commercial property will be highly regarded.

You’ll be confident managing contractors, understand building services and be comfortable taking ownership rather than waiting for direction.

Why Make the Move?

• Up to $150K depending on experience
• Take ownership of a major retail asset
• Broad role across operations, CAPEX and building services
• High level of autonomy
• Work directly with an established private property owner
• Strong opportunity for an experienced FM looking for their next step

If you’re ready to move beyond supporting an asset and start owning the operations, this is worth a conversation.
