• Spot warranty-eligible jobs, hold contractors accountable and recover value
• Manage preventative maintenance, contractor performance and compliance against SLAs, insurance and safety standards

• Support equipment and facilities readiness for new restaurants, refurbishments and our electrification programme

• A strong understanding of equipment maintenance and safety regulations, with commercial kitchen equipment knowledge highly regarded
• Excellent negotiation and supplier management skills, and commercial awareness
• Confidence using preventative maintenance and inventory management software
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, and the ability to juggle multiple jobs and deadlines

• The opportunity to join one of Australia's fastest-growing restaurant companies, opening 30-40 new restaurants every year!
