  • Engage and manage subcontractors and service providers.
  • Provide on-call support for occasional out-of-hours property maintenance emergencies.


Ideal skills and experience:

  • Experience in facilities management, building maintenance, or a similar role.
  • Strong understanding of building services and systems (HVAC, electrical, plumbing, etc.).
  • Knowledge of NZ compliance requirements, including BWOF processes
  • Strong communication skills with confidence engaging clients, architects, contractors, and internal stakeholders.
  • Highly organised, self-motivated, and capable of making sound decisions and solving problems under pressure.
  • Practical and solutions-focused, with strong problem-solving ability.
