This is a well-run portfolio with a team that takes pride in the standard they deliver. We need an experienced FM to step in and keep that momentum going while we work through a resourcing change. The assets are premium industrial, the occupants are demanding in the best possible way, and the expectation is high-quality, consistent service delivery.

If you know your way around an industrial portfolio and do not need a lot of hand-holding to get up to speed, this one is worth a look. For the right person, there is a genuine opportunity for this engagement to extend well beyond the initial term.

In This Role, You Will

  • 5 + years in FM with solid experience
  • Strong contractor management background, with the relationships and credibility to get results
  • Confident with WHS, compliance, and the reporting that comes with a high-profile asset
  • A natural communicator who can hold their own with C-suite occupants and trade contractors in the same day

Why CBRE?

  • Work on assets that genuinely set the standard in the Adelaide market
  • Join a team that knows what they are doing and supports each other well
