Facilities & Maintenance Manager

Are you a hands-on facilities professional who enjoys both managing and doing?

At Ronald McDonald House WA, our Houses provide a home away from home for families with seriously ill or injured children. Behind every comfortable room, welcoming space and secure environment is a well-maintained facility.

We are looking for someone with a trade, facilities and property management background who can oversee preventative and reactive maintenance, ensure compliance and contractor performance, and coordinate site improvements. Equally important, you will be comfortable picking up the tools and completing minor maintenance works when required.

If you are practical, proactive and take pride in creating safe, well-maintained environments, we'd love to hear from you.

This is a rewarding opportunity to support Western Australian families through your expertise while working for a respected not-for-profit organisation.

Reporting to the Executive Manager, Operations & Facilities, you will be responsible for the day-to-day maintenance, presentation and operational performance of Ronald McDonald House WA facilities.

You will oversee preventative and reactive maintenance programs, manage contractors and service providers, coordinate building compliance requirements, support capital works projects and ensure our facilities remain safe, functional and welcoming for the families who depend on them.

This is a varied role that combines practical maintenance skills with facilities management responsibility. No two days are the same.
