Technical Facilities Manager

Opportunity supporting pharmaceutical company

Location based in Tullamarine

Successful candidate will have endless career development opportunities across CBRE

About your new role

Responsible for leading trade team across Tullamarine and Woodend whilst acting as the contract's engineering authority.

What is on offer?

1. Highly competitive salary + 2 days paid leave for volunteer opportunities
2. Stable 37.5 hour working week
3. Access to unlimited learning and training programs
4. Clear career progression to wider Facilities Management or Corporate real estate depending on preference and skill set
5. Certified Family inclusive workplace & paid parental leave
6. Competitive leave offered

Key responsibilities

• Manage trade staff, finalise and approve schedules, assign PPMs, and lead daily pre-start meetings that set priorities, risks and expectations for the shift.
• Verify licences, training, permits and isolations are in place before work begins, rather than relying on after-the-fact checks.
• Apply multidisciplinary engineering judgement across mechanical, electrical, fire, water and utilities systems, so faults and risks are understood in terms of how they interact between trades.
• Own the compliance register, interpret applicable standards, and reconcile the dual Comcare and Victorian OHS jurisdiction into one practical compliance outcome.
• Ensure recurring or significant faults are resolved at root cause rather than repeatedly patched.
• Technically test repair quotes, scopes and maintenance frequencies before approval, so CSL pays for the right fix at the right price.
• Own specialist subcontractor relationships, inspect and supervise their work, and scrutinise programmes, reports, certifications and SWMS.
• Plan major works including shutdowns, define the CBRE and CSL plant boundary, and lead the asset reliability programme.
• Maintain evidence and documentation to a standard that would withstand audit, validation or regulator scrutiny in the GMP-regulated environment.

Skills and experience we are looking for

• Multidisciplinary engineering breadth across mechanical, electrical, fire, water and utilities, sufficient to lead diagnosis and decision-making across trades.
• Working knowledge of GMP-regulated environments and the evidentiary standard required for audit, validation and regulator scrutiny.
• Ability to operate under the dual Comcare and Victorian OHS jurisdiction and reconcile them into one practical compliance position.
• Root cause diagnostic capability
