The world’s tallest hybrid timber tower, reaching practical completion at the end of 2026

Bring a World-First Workplace to Life

Sydney CBD, Tech Central | Land of the Gadigal People

With practical completion due at the end of 2026, this is a rare chance to join before the building opens and shape operations, commissioning and the occupier experience from day one.

Atlassian Central is a 39-storey, 180-metre hybrid timber, steel and concrete tower beside Central Station, anchoring Sydney’s Tech Central precinct. Co-owned by Dexus and Atlassian, it combines naturally ventilated ‘habitats’, a façade that generates renewable energy on site, and a commitment to 100% renewable energy operation, with a new hostel and the heritage Parcels Shed at its base.

As the building moves through final commissioning and handover towards practical completion, you will be part of the team that turns a construction site into a high-performing operating asset.

As Senior Facilities Manager, you will lead operational readiness and the ongoing management of the building, including its advanced building services (including natural ventilation, façade-integrated renewables and smart building systems), contractor management, compliance, maintenance and asset performance. You will partner with the delivery team to take the building from construction through handover, commissioning and the defects liability period, then lead it into stabilisation.

The Opportunity:

- Lead operational readiness, facilities management and day-to-day building operations from practical completion through to stabilisation
- Oversee advanced technical services,



compliance and risk management across mixed-mode ventilation, the operable solar façade, integrated building technology and mass-timber fire safety
- Manage contractors and service partners through handover, commissioning and the defects liability period, and establish the planned maintenance program
- Establish emergency management, WHS and evacuation procedures for a mixed-use building, including warden training, drills and incident response
- Lead, develop and set the standards for the on-site facilities team and service partner personnel, building a safety-first, high-performing culture from day one
- Mobilise the building’s operating model, including tendering, onboarding and managing security, cleaning and other hard and soft service providers ahead of opening
- Plan and manage CAPEX and asset enhancement works once the building has stabilised
- Establish and manage the operating budget (OPEX), outgoings and financial performance for the building’s first operating years
- Drive sustainability, ESG and continuous improvement, delivering against the building’s 5.5 Star NABERS Energy Commitment, 6 Star Green Star target and 100% renewable energy operation
- Partner with Atlassian as anchor tenant, fitout contractors,



the hostel and retail operators and neighbouring owners across the Tech Central precinct to deliver a seamless occupier and visitor experience
