JOB DESCRIPTION SUMMARY

As the Maintenance Manager for our newly acquired Sydney Student living portfolio, you'll take the lead on all aspects of maintenance, safety, and building performance for specific sites of our thriving student communities.

This is a hands-on role, ideal for someone who thrives on variety, values a high standard of presentation, and is ready to tackle everything from preventative maintenance to emergency repairs - all while leading a team and ensuring compliance.

JOB DESCRIPTION

  • Oversee all maintenance operations across the site, ensuring both reactive and scheduled works are completed to a high standard and within set timeframes.

  • Manage resident repair requests from diagnosis through to resolution, ensuring minimal disruption and maximum satisfaction.

  • Lead, coach, and support a team of Maintenance Technicians, including recruitment, training, performance reviews, and day-to-day supervision.

  • Develop and deliver preventative maintenance plans to ensure buildings, plant, and equipment remain safe, compliant, and fully operational.

  • Conduct regular inspections of apartments, communal areas, systems, and external spaces to uphold safety, appearance, and functionality.

  • Manage compliance testing and statutory checks such as fire alarms, emergency lighting, HVAC systems, and water testing, keeping accurate records.

  • Coordinate external contractors and suppliers, ensuring all work meets scope, quality, safety, and budget expectations — and is carried out with proper permits and documentation.

  • Respond to emergency callouts outside of regular hours, taking ownership of urgent maintenance issues and resolutions.

  • Support budget planning and control, monitoring maintenance spend, sourcing materials cost-effectively, and maintaining adequate inventory.

  • Champion a safe, welcoming, and well-maintained living environment, working closely with the Community Manager to enhance the student experience.

About You

You're a proactive and team-oriented individual with strong hands-on experience in maintenance across residential, hospitality, or trades settings. With a solid understanding of WHS practices and compliance, you excel in leading service-focused environments and managing contractors. You bring strong communication skills, commercial awareness, and the flexibility to support varied operational needs.

You'll Bring:

  • Proven experience in residential or commercial maintenance, including knowledge of WHS, preventative systems, and contractor supervision.

  • A valid driver's license and eligibility for required checks (National Criminal History Check and Working with Children Check).

Greystar is an equal opportunity employer committed to providing a working environment that embraces and values diversity and inclusion. By coming to work for us, you'll be part of an organisation that encourages diversity, supports charities and environmental initiatives.
