Head of Facilities

6 days ago

Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Fulcrum Full time $120,000 - $200,000 per year

Step into a senior leadership role with genuine scope and technical influence.

We're seeking a highly capable property professional with an engineering background to take ownership of facilities and technical operations across a diverse national portfolio — spanning retail, residential, industrial, and mixed-use assets.

This is a rare opportunity to build and lead a function that underpins the long-term performance, compliance and sustainability of a privately-owned property group with a strong growth pipeline.

With significant developments underway, you'll play a pivotal role in ensuring every asset is safe, efficient, and future-proofed, while also embedding the systems, governance and people capability to scale into the future.

The Company

Our client is a privately owned property group with a track record in delivering and managing high-profile retail, commercial, residential and industrial assets. With expansion projects already committed, the group is entering an exciting phase of growth — requiring a senior technical operations leader to protect, enhance and evolve the performance of its assets.

The Opportunity

Reporting directly to the Directors, the Head of Facilities & Technical Operations will:

  • Lead all aspects of facilities management and technical operations across the national portfolio.
  • Take ownership of OPEX and CAPEX budgets, lifecycle planning and major works.
  • Embed compliance, risk and sustainability frameworks across all asset classes.
  • Partner closely with development teams to ensure operational readiness for new assets and expansions.
  • Manage, mentor and grow a high-performing facilities team, supported by a strong network of contractors and service providers.
  • Act as the technical advisor to the executive team, ensuring assets are future-proofed and aligned to long-term strategy.

This role is ideal for you if…

  • You're an engineer by training who has built your career in facilities and technical operations with major owners or developers.
  • You thrive leading diverse asset classes — from large-format retail to residential and industrial.
  • You want influence at the table with Directors, shaping decisions that directly impact asset performance and long-term value.
  • You're ready to build and mentor a team, not just run the portfolio yourself.

This role may not suit you if…

  • You've only worked on the agency/outsourced side of facilities management and haven't held direct ownership responsibilities for an owner/developer.
  • You prefer highly structured corporate environments with multiple reporting layers — this is a role where you'll work directly with the owners and need to take full accountability.

About You

  • Engineering qualifications (electrical, mechanical, building services or related discipline).
  • 15+ years' experience in technical operations and facilities management with major developers or asset owners.
  • Proven success managing large, complex portfolios across retail, residential and industrial sectors.
  • Strong commercial acumen with experience leading $10M+ OPEX/CAPEX budgets.
  • Track record of building high-performing teams and driving contractor/vendor performance.
  • Deep knowledge of compliance, safety, risk and sustainability frameworks.

What's on Offer

  • Executive-level package + performance-based bonus.
  • Direct reporting line to the Directors, with influence on strategic and operational decisions.
  • A long-term owner with a commitment to holding and growing quality assets.
  • The chance to shape and lead a critical function during a period of major expansion.
