Are you seeking a leadership opportunity with a trade background?

This role is dedicated to an account based at Tullamarine

CBRE Local is committed to training and upskilling you!

At CBRE Local we are growing, and we invite you to be part of our dynamic team!

As a Technical manager you will lead a trades team across Tullamarine and Woodend whilst acting as the contract’s engineering authority.

Here is a snapshot of your day:

- Manage trade staff, finalise and approve schedules, assign PPMs, and lead daily pre-start meetings that set priorities, risks and expectations for the shift.
- Verify licences, training, permits and isolations are in place before work begins, rather than relying on after-the-fact checks.
- Apply multidisciplinary engineering judgement across mechanical, electrical, fire, water and utilities systems, so faults and risks are understood in terms of how they interact between trades.
- Own the compliance register, interpret applicable standards, and reconcile the dual Comcare and Victorian OHS jurisdiction into one practical compliance outcome.
- Ensure recurring or significant faults are resolved at root cause rather than repeatedly patched.
- Technically test repair quotes, scopes and maintenance frequencies before approval, so CSL pays for the right fix at the right price.
- Own specialist subcontractor relationships, inspect and supervise their work, and scrutinise programmes, reports, certifications and SWMS.
- Plan major works including shutdowns, define the CBRE and CSL plant boundary, and lead the asset reliability programme.
- Maintain evidence and documentation to a standard that would withstand audit, validation or regulator scrutiny in the GMP-regulated environment.

Ideal candidate:

- Multidisciplinary engineering breadth across mechanical, electrical, fire,



water and utilities, sufficient to lead diagnosis and decision-making across trades.
- Working knowledge of GMP-regulated environments and the evidentiary standard required for audit, validation and regulator scrutiny.
- Ability to operate under the dual Comcare and Victorian OHS jurisdiction and reconcile them into one practical compliance position.
- Root cause diagnostic capability, demonstrated on 705AHU01 airflow degradation (retained construction filter matrix, open-loop fan control) and Tullamarine out-of-hours fire paging (device-level isolation practice).
- Experience in large acute hospital and critical environments, progressing from hands-on engineering to senior leadership.
