Workplace & Facilities Manager

About this role

Workplace & Facilities runs the buildings and the services in them — offices, the studio, and the site and township facilities.

Run the office as somewhere people actually want to come in to: space, services, safety and the vendors behind all three.

Statutory building compliance is not optional and the certificates behind it are auditable. Beyond that, the function is judged on whether the place works for the people in it, which is a different and harder standard.

Primary responsibilities

• Run the workplace across offices — the space, the services and the experience of being in it
• Manage the vendors: cleaning, catering, security, maintenance and the fit-out contractors
• Own statutory compliance for the buildings, including fire safety and the certificates behind it
• Plan space and manage moves and expansions
• Own the facilities budget

Skills required

Day to day this role works with Vendor Management, Facilities Management and Health & Safety.

• Four or more years managing a workplace or facility
• Five or more years in facilities or workplace management
• Vendor management across cleaning, catering, security and maintenance
• Statutory building compliance including fire safety and its certificates
• Space planning and move management
• Budget ownership

Preferred

None of these are required. They are the things that would help, and a strong application is regularly missing all of them.
