• Managing relationships with external contractors and preferred suppliers

• Supervising contractor work on site and ensuring appropriate health and safety requirements are met

• Supporting the recruitment, induction and development of maintenance team members

• Overseeing Test and Tag requirements and other relevant property compliance activities

• Providing practical advice and support when significant or unexpected maintenance issues arise

• Working collaboratively across our Property, Operations and site teams to find better ways of delivering safe, effective facilities services.

What you’ll bring:

• A trade-based qualification

• Strong knowledge of building codes and relevant compliance requirements

• Recent experience managing contractors and external suppliers

• Experience supporting maintenance or facilities across multiple sites

• Experience with smart building technology would be an advantage

• Strong problem-solving skills and the confidence to make sound decisions and influence outcomes

• Excellent relationship-building and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively with people at all levels

• Strong organisation and time-management skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities

• Confidence using technology and systems as part of your day-to-day work

• A current New Zealand driver’s licence and the flexibility to travel regularly between Oceania sites from Hawke’s Bay to Christchurch

• An understanding of aged care or similarly regulated environments would be beneficial.
