- Melbourne | Land of the Wurundjeri people
CBRE is seeking an experienced Facilities Manager to support the IFM Investors client in Melbourne. This is a quality lateral move for an FM who wants more say in how the operation runs, with the trust to plan the week around the priorities that need attention.
You will stay close to building services, contractors, maintenance, risk, compliance and customer needs while giving IFM Investors clear visibility of performance. The role combines practical site coordination, sound judgement and client communication, without losing sight of the day-to-day detail that keeps the operation running well.
The Opportunity:
- Manage day-to-day facilities operations, keeping building services safe, reliable and responsive
- Oversee service contractors, monitor performance and drive actions through to completion
- Coordinate planned and reactive maintenance, setting priorities and maintaining accurate records
- Maintain risk, compliance and statutory programs, escalating issues early and following through
- Support operating expenditure planning, invoice control and variance reporting in line with client requirements
- Prepare clear operational updates and recommendations for IFM Investors
- Build trusted relationships with occupiers, service partners and CBRE colleagues
- Identify practical improvements to service delivery, building performance and customer experience
About you:
You're an experienced Facilities Manager who knows when to stay close to the detail and when to make the call. You are comfortable moving between a contractor conversation, a compliance issue and a client update, and you value being trusted to organise your week around what the operation needs.
You will bring:
- Experience managing facilities or property services in a commercial environment
- Working knowledge of building services, planned maintenance, contractor management and compliance obligations
- Confidence dealing with clients, occupiers and service partners when priorities compete
- The ability to manage budgets, invoices, records and reporting with commercial awareness
- A practical approach to risk, incidents and operational problem solving
- Clear written and verbal communication, with sound judgement on when to escalate
So, what's in it for you?
- More room to manage your week around the priorities that matter, while staying connected to the operation
- Visible client exposure with IFM Investors and the opportunity to influence how the site performs
- A quality lateral move where practical judgement is valued and good decisions improve service outcomes
- Breadth across service delivery, compliance, financial control and client communication
- Access to CBRE's property, facilities and technical services platform in Australia
