• Champion safety: proactively manage risks, support emergency preparedness and maintain compliance with relevant health, safety, fire and building regulations.
• Protect and improve our assets: manage facilities budgets, recommend investment projects and deliver improvements with a focus on quality and cost control.
• Support our brand partners: coordinate maintenance, store openings, closures, fit-outs and refurbishments to ensure smooth transitions.
• Drive sustainable improvements: manage utilities and introduce practical initiatives that improve environmental and operational performance.
• Play your part in centre operations: complete Duty Management training and participate in duty responsibilities as required

• Strong relationship-building skills, clear communication and confidence using Microsoft Office or equivalent business tools.
