Senior Building Manager / Team Leader – Newcastle & Hunter (Strata)

Are you a senior strata building manager ready to step into a dual-impact leadership role?

Take full ownership of establishing a prestigious new mixed-use flagship development in Newcastle CBD while acting as Synergy’s Region Lead to grow our footprint across Newcastle and the Hunter Region.

Commencing in late January 2027, this prospect offers an accomplished Senior Building Manager greater responsibility and influence, supported by an enhanced remuneration package.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Dual-Focus Role

Combine hands-on onsite management of a landmark new development with broader strategic leadership across the Newcastle and Hunter region.

Onsite Operational Leadership

Direct day-to-day operations, maintenance, and service presentation for a high-profile site, supported by an Assistant Building Manager and on-site cleaning team.

Regional Business Growth

Drive Synergy’s local expansion by building key client relationships, elevating brand presence, and supporting sales and marketing initiatives in the region.

Key Requirements

Strong technical facility management expertise, proven team leadership skills, and the commercial confidence to represent Synergy at a regional level.

What You’ll Be Doing

Lead the complete mobilization and operational setup of a landmark mixed-use strata development from construction handover through occupation.

Establish preventative maintenance schedules, asset registers, operational procedures, and resident communication platforms (e.g., MYBOS / BuildingLink).

Coordinate resident move-ins, access arrangements, contractor management,



and defect identification and resolution with the builder/developer.

Maintain daily oversight of building presentation, safety, fire compliance, WHS, and budget reporting.

Stakeholder & BMC Relationship Management

Build strong, productive relationships with the Building Management Committee (BMC), Owners Corporations, residential/commercial occupants, and strata managers.

Coordinate shared facilities and services across mixed-use components smoothly and professionally.

Manage enquiries, committee updates, and stakeholder reporting with clarity and poise.

Mentor and direct the Assistant Building Manager and onsite service teams.

Maintain accountability for high standards of building presentation, service responsiveness, and a positive team culture.

Regional Leadership & Business Growth

Serve as Synergy’s primary regional representative across Newcastle and the Hunter region.

Collaborate with executive leadership to strengthen local brand presence, identify business opportunities, and participate in client presentations/proposals.

Share regional market insights and assist with future site setups and staff onboarding as the regional portfolio expands.

Your Newcastle CBD site will remain your principal workplace and operational responsibility, with regional activities coordinated around site requirements and team coverage.
