ABOUT METROWIDE
Metrowide Facility Management is an established and growing national facilities services company delivering cleaning, property maintenance and municipal services across government and commercial contracts.
With an expanding portfolio of contracts and operations across Australia, we are continuing to strengthen our management team and are looking for people who want to grow with the business.
Due to the commencement of a significant new contract in Melbourne's Bayside area, we are seeking an experienced, motivated and hands-on Contract Manager to lead our local operations.
This role offers more than day-to-day contract management.
For the right person, there will also be opportunities to work closely with senior management on business growth, new contract opportunities, tender submissions and mobilisation of future contracts.

Reporting directly to the Head of Operations, you will take ownership of the day-to-day management and performance of a significant field-based services contract.
You will manage supervisors, field employees, vehicles, equipment and subcontractors while ensuring services are delivered safely, efficiently and in accordance with contractual requirements and KPIs.
This is not a purely office-based management position.
We are looking for someone who is comfortable being out in the field, supporting teams, inspecting sites, communicating with the client and responding quickly when operational issues arise.

Manage resources and productivity to ensure efficient contract delivery
Identify cost-saving and operational improvement opportunities without compromising service quality
Support contract mobilisation and ongoing continuous improvement

ABOUT YOU
We are looking for someone who is hands-on, commercially aware, organised, accountable and solutions-focused.
You will need to be confident managing both people in the field and the financial performance of the contract.
The successful candidate will ideally have:
Previous experience as a Contract Manager, Operations Manager, Area Manager, Facilities Manager or similar
Experience within facilities management, commercial cleaning, municipal services, waste, landscaping, property services or another field-based service industry
Strong leadership and people-management skills
Experience managing supervisors and operational workforces
Strong rostering, workforce planning and resource allocation skills
Strong financial and commercial management skills
Experience managing budgets, labour costs and operational expenditure
Understanding of contract profitability, productivity and cost control
Strong client and stakeholder relationship management skills




Experience managing contractual KPIs and service-level requirements
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
Ability to make decisions and respond quickly to operational issues
Valuable computer, reporting and administrative skills
Strong understanding of workplace health and safety
Full Australian working rights
Contribute ideas to improve Metrowide's operational capability and support the company's continued national growth
Previous experience in beach cleaning, foreshore services, public-space maintenance, local government or municipal service contracts will be highly regarded.
LOCATION
This is primarily a field-based role across Melbourne's Bayside area, with regular travel between operational sites.
Operational and administrative support will be provided from Metrowide's Moorabbin depot.
Candidates living in or around Bayside, Moorabbin or Melbourne's south-eastern suburbs will be well suited to the position.
REMUNERATION & BENEFITS
Up to $10,000 annual KPI/performance bonus

WHY JOIN METROWIDE?
This is an opportunity to take ownership of a significant long-term operation and play an important role in the continued growth of Metrowide Facility Management across Australia.
We are looking for someone who wants more than simply managing a roster.
You will have genuine responsibility for people, operations, client relationships, service quality and financial performance.
You will work closely with senior management while having the autonomy to manage your operation, develop your team and continuously improve contract performance.
For the right person, the role will also provide opportunities to become involved in new business opportunities, tender submissions, operational planning and the mobilisation of new contracts.
As Metrowide continues to grow its national portfolio, we want this person to grow with the business, develop their commercial and operational experience and establish themselves as a key member of our management team.
