At JLL, we are collectively shaping a brighter way for our clients, ourselves, and our fellow employees, and this role gives you the platform to do exactly that: translating strategy into day-to-day excellence across every corner of the asset you manage.

• Process invoices efficiently and in accordance with JLL financial controls, while monitoring budgets and providing commentary on variances.
• Contribute to the preparation of Annual Operating and Capital Expenditure Budgets alongside the broader management team.
• Maintain a safe working environment by ensuring statutory compliance on fire, health, and safety standards, including currency of inductions, CM3 registration, and SWMS documentation.
• Conduct routine site inspections, manage the Permit to Work program, and provide 24/7 emergency support and site attendance when required.
• Support tenant retention and lease administration by liaising with tenants on lease-related matters and maintaining accurate property and tenant registers.

• Demonstrated experience in a facilities management or property operations role, ideally within commercial real estate.
• Strong understanding of contract and vendor management, including tender processes and KPI-based performance reviews.
• Working knowledge of WHS legislation and statutory compliance requirements relevant to commercial buildings.
• Proven ability to manage budgets, process invoices, and report on financial variances with accuracy.
• Excellent stakeholder management skills, with experience engaging clients, tenants, and contractors across multiple levels.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to produce clear, timely reports and meeting documentation.
• Availability to provide after-hours emergency support and attend site when required.
• Tertiary qualification in facilities management, property, engineering, or a related discipline is highly regarded.
• Relevant industry certifications (e.g. CM3, facilities management credentials), or a willingness to obtain them, along with exposure to risk management frameworks and leasing strategy.
