Why would you be interested?

Take full ownership of a body corporate budget, rather than simply attending committee meetings on a luxury Gold Coast asset, with a genuine stated path to a senior, multi-building role as our client's portfolio grows. Enjoy a Monday-to-Friday schedule with no regular weekend work, a salary of up to $130,000 + Super, free on-site parking, subsidised lunch, and a stable, warm team who'll back you from day one. If you're ready to move beyond a caretaker role and genuinely run a building; budget, contractors, maintenance and all, this is the role that lets you do it.

The Opportunity

Our client owns and manages a luxury residential development of around 300 apartments on the Gold Coast. Well constructed and only several years old, the development features a private gym and magnesium pool and is a genuine luxury asset in one of the fastest-growing pockets of the Gold Coast.

As Building Manager, you'll take full accountability for the day-to-day operation of the tower, reporting directly to the General Manager. This is a hands-on, fully accountable role, not a caretaker position, with a maintenance team and cleaning team reporting to you and close working relationships with concierge, rental and back-office support functions.

What You'll Be Doing

- Owning the body corporate budget end-to-end: building it, forecasting costs and identifying where money is being lost.
- Managing relationships with tier-one contractors,



holding the line on the five-star finish and brand standard the building is known for.
- Getting ahead of forward maintenance and capital works planning as the building moves into it's next stage of life.
- Providing commercial input on retail tenant mix and positioning alongside the leasing team.
- Mentoring the current Maintenance Leader as she develops toward a senior maintenance mgmt role.
- Being genuinely on the ground, knowing what's happening on-site day to day and only handing off to contractors for complex, specialist work.

About You

- 5+ years' experience as a Building Manager in a five-star or luxury residential environment; hotel-engineering exposure is highly regarded.
- Proven, hands-on experience building and defending a body corporate budget.
- A confident, diplomatic communicator who's comfortable pushing back on owners and contractors to protect the building's standards.
- Strong maintenance and engineering understanding across residential towers.
- Genuine ambition and energy, you're looking for the next step in your career, not a final, low-key role before retirement.

What's on Offer

- $120,000–$130,000 + Super, with the top of the range available for outstanding candidates.
- A stable, warm and cooperative team of around 15, growing as the portfolio expands.
- Free on-site parking and subsidised in office lunch.
- Quarterly company events and cultural celebrations.
- A genuine, explicitly-stated path to a senior, multi-building role as the company's management-rights portfolio grows.
