Facilities & Property Manager

Due to an internal promotion, we're on the hunt for an experienced Facilities & Property Manager to join our Melbourne Head Office.

This isn't a traditional facilities role.

You'll be a key member of our Property & Development team, helping shape the performance, sustainability and long-term success of a national portfolio of hotels. You'll work directly with operational leaders, external stakeholders, landlords, suppliers and senior decision-makers to protect and enhance our assets while identifying smarter ways of doing business.

If you're someone who enjoys ownership, likes solving problems, thrives on influence rather than authority, and wants to be part of a growing business where your ideas are valued, we'd love to meet you.

What you'll be Responsible For

You'll take ownership of facilities and property management across our national portfolio, including:

• Lead day-to-day property and facilities management across the Veriu Group portfolio of hotels.
• Own and manage the Group's maintenance management platform, ensuring all maintenance requests are logged, tracked, reported on and closed out effectively.
• Manage contractor performance, service delivery, compliance, insurance requirements and supplier relationships across all service categories.
• Oversee the lifecycle of property-related service agreements, including renewals, reviews, contract compliance and supplier rationalisation opportunities.
• Review and manage landlord and Owners Corporation outgoings, challenge excessive charges, identify savings opportunities and support budgeting, forecasting and reconciliation processes.
• Ensure statutory servicing, compliance obligations and essential services maintenance are completed and appropriately documented across the portfolio.
• Manage relationships with landlords, Owners Corporations and strata managers, ensuring building obligations, approvals and property issues are resolved effectively.
• Monitor maintenance expenditure, review quotations, identify cost-saving opportunities and ensure value-for-money outcomes across the property portfolio.
• Conduct property inspections, identify asset risks and maintenance priorities, and implement preventative maintenance initiatives to improve asset performance.
• Develop and maintain property reporting, monitor maintenance and contractor performance, and provide visibility of key property risks, costs and operational trends
• Management of business insurance claims

Why Join Us?

In this role you'll enjoy:

• Stability with ambition – join an established business with exciting growth plans.

About You

You’ll likely come from a facilities, commercial property, retail property, asset management or large-scale residential environment and enjoy balancing operational detail with strategic thinking.

You'll bring:
