n
Paddington, Sydney | Full-time, Permanent | $160,000-$200,000 package

This isn't a standard Facilities Manager role. You won't just inherit a building - you'll help shape it before it opens, then take full ownership once it's operational.
n
Our client is redeveloping an iconic multi-sport and community precinct in Paddington, with practical completion targeted for April ****. You'll join during the final stages of construction, working alongside the project team to learn the site inside out, set up contracts and systems your way, and lead a smooth transition into operations. Full details on the organisation will be shared with shortlisted candidates.
n
The Site

A large-scale sporting and community precinct including:
n
n
An outdoor heated lap pool and Learn to Swim school
n
Two full-size, partially enclosed basketball courts
n
A natural turf playing field
n
Gymnasium, café, bar, dining and function spaces
n
Commercial office tenancies and community facilities
n
n
You'll be managing a complex, high-profile, multi-asset site - not a single building.
n
The Role

Initially:
n
n
Manage contractors through final build stages, defects and the liability period

Take full ownership of facilities operations across the precinct

n
n
What We're Looking For
n
n
5+ years' facilities management experience across complex, multi-use sites - ideally sport, leisure, aquatic or hospitality
n
Comfortable working in a live project/build setting
n
Aquatic facility experience (pool plant, water chemistry, NSW Health compliance) highly regarded
n
Strong contractor and stakeholder management, with a track record building systems from scratch
n
Current NSW Driver's Licence and Working with Children Check (or ability to obtain)
n
n
Please Note Our client undertakes a security screening process for this role, including background and reference checks, prior to appointment. We ask that candidates are comfortable with this process before applying - this will be discussed in more detail during screening.
