  • Collaborate with Finance on budgeting, forecasting, and lifecycle cost modelling.
  • Uphold a strong safety culture and ensure adherence to Zero Harm principles.

What you'll need to succeed

  • Demonstrated experience in asset management within facilities, infrastructure, or building services.
  • Strong capability in asset registers, condition auditing, lifecycle planning, and asset management frameworks.
  • Working knowledge of ISO 55000 principles and their application in operational environments.
  • Experience in building compliance, regulations, and Australian Standards.
  • Proficiency in analysing technical data, performance metrics, and financial reports.
  • Familiarity with BMS/SCADA systems and performance‑based maintenance methodologies.
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.
  • High attention to detail, strong organisational capability, and a proactive approach.

What you'll get in return

  • A competitive salary package aligned to your experience
  • Long‑term career security with ongoing capital investment across the precinct
  • The opportunity to influence strategic decision‑making and asset optimisation at scale
  • Professional development pathways and support for further accreditation
