What this opportunity involves:

JLL is looking for a Building Manager to take ownership of the day-to-day management of a residential portfolio in Queensland. At JLL, we are collectively shaping a brighter way — for our clients, ourselves and our fellow employees — and this role sits at the heart of that mission, acting as the face of the property for owners, tenants, contractors and the Body Corporate alike. You will be the person who keeps the building running smoothly, who residents and stakeholders turn to with confidence, and who ensures every interaction reflects the professionalism JLL is known for. Reporting to the Operations Manager, you will need to be a natural relationship builder and a clear, confident communicator, equally comfortable managing compliance documentation as you are walking the property and greeting residents. What sets JLL apart is our culture of collaboration, locally and across the globe, and you will draw on that network of support while still being trusted to manage your site with independence and sound judgement.

An overview of the role:

• Meeting the requirements of the Body Corporate Caretaking Agreements and operating within all relevant legislation, including the Body Corporate and Community Management Act 1997
• Maintaining effective control of costs and ensuring the smooth day-to-day operation of the property
• Preparing Building Management Reports and attending Body Corporate meetings
• Ensuring building procedures are maintained onsite, including keeping site documentation and compliance records up to date
• Attending to guests, tenants, contractors, owners and Body Corporate representatives in a positive, professional manner, ensuring expected service standards are consistently met
• Maintaining open, ongoing communication between all stakeholders connected to the property, including guests, tenants, owners and the Body Corporate
• Carrying out basic financial administration, such as processing invoices and raising purchase orders
• Protecting the business's assets through a high level of compliance, security and control

Sounds like you? This is what we are looking for:

Required qualifications:

• Demonstrated experience in a similar building or facilities management role, ideally within a residential or strata environment
• Working knowledge of the Body Corporate and Community Management Act 1997, or a strong willingness to quickly develop this expertise
• Strong attention to detail, particularly when managing compliance documentation and site records
• Proven ability to manage and prioritise competing tasks and deadlines independently
• Excellent relationship-building skills, with the ability to engage confidently with a diverse range of stakeholders
• Strong verbal and written communication skills
• High level of personal organisation and effectiveness
• A professional, service-oriented approach to all stakeholder interactions

Preferred qualifications:

• Previous experience working directly with a Body Corporate or Owners Corporation
• Exposure to basic financial processes, such as invoice processing and purchase order management
• Relevant certifications in building management, facilities management or a related field
• Experience preparing formal reports and presenting at stakeholder meetings
• A collaborative mindset, reflecting our belief that the most effective teams are built when everyone is empowered to thrive

Benefits:

• Great employee discounts off fitness, wellbeing & other renowned brands
• 18 weeks paid maternity leave
• Private Health Insurance Discounts
• Active Social Club
• Employee assistant program
• Novated Lease for EV cars
• Paid time off for volunteer work
• Career Opportunities with Australia's #1 Commercial Real Estate firm
• Premium offices
