  • Develop and manage budgets, ensuring efficient use of resources.
  • Maintain and update facility asset registers and ensure audits are completed.
  • Collaborate with hospital executives and key stakeholders to support operational and strategic outcomes.

  • Experience in a supervisory or management role within engineering, facilities, or infrastructure services.
  • Demonstrated experience in asset management, maintenance planning, and project delivery.
  • Strong knowledge of compliance requirements, WHS legislation, and risk management practices.
  • Proven ability to lead and manage diverse technical teams and contractors across multiple sites.
  • Excellent interpersonal, communication, and stakeholder management skills.
  • Strong financial management skills, including budgeting and resource allocation.
  • Ability to work flexibly and independently, with a high degree of problem-solving capability.
