- Manage the centre's operational budget, including forecasting, variance reporting and cost control.
- Maintain compliance, WHS and risk management across the centre.
- Build trusted relationships with retailers,



contractors and internal stakeholders while keeping centre presentation and customer experience at a high standard.

About you

To be successful in this role, you will have:

- Facilities management experience within a shopping centre or retail setting.
- Exposure to development, refurbishment or tenancy delivery projects.
- Strong commercial acumen, with experience managing budgets and an operational P&L.;
- Solid knowledge of both hard and soft services, including leading cleaning and security contracts.
- Proven contractor management and tenant engagement skills.
- A sharp eye for detail, presentation and amenity.
- A positive, adaptable attitude: open to new ways of working and comfortable being hands-on in a lean team.

What's in it for you?

- Gain genuine development and capital works exposure.
- Play a central role as the centre leases up and welcomes new retailers.
- Join a close-knit onsite team led by a Centre Manager.
- Help shape how the centre operates as it modernises, with resources set to grow once redevelopment launches.
- Monday to Friday, 8:30am - 5:30pm, with no regular weekend work.
- Free on-site parking.
