Company: Ventia
What's in it for me
This is a dynamic, challenging role with diverse responsibilities, where there is a real opportunity for you to take ownership of the client relationship in your remit and tailor the service to their needs. You will be joining one of New Zealand's largest FM and infrastructure services companies on one of our biggest and most important projects, which in turn services one of New Zealand's largest and most recognised organisations. There will be opportunities to grow your capability within the role, as well as opportunities to progress into other roles later. Quite a lot of people leaders within the project team have been promoted from within as well. You will be working with a group of talented and supportive individuals who take satisfaction from the purpose of their work. You can take pride in managing the maintenance of facilities and open spaces that are critical to our Auckland communities - the parks and beaches of the city are where we play, recreate, create holiday memories, and spend quality time with our friends and families.
The Job
Ventia's Auckland Council project team is responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of all council community facilities including buildings, parks, and public amenities. Reporting to our Operations Contract Manager, you will be responsible for the management of all hard and soft FM functions.
Your time in this role will be split between the Ventia head office in Mount Wellington and site visits with the client, staff, and contractors across the area. You will lead two direct reports who manage a team of roughly 40 people consisting of hard and soft service staff as well as subcontractors. You will maintain and further build upon the positive, engaged team culture, and improve staff retention by creating a rewarding, high-performance environment. You will build and maintain strong rapport with client representatives, community groups, internal stakeholders outside your direct reporting line, and subcontractors.
Your Profile
You will have worked in a management role in either Facilities Management or some area of infrastructure maintenance. You will be renowned for your leadership skills and will have successfully led teams in challenging environments. You will have good financial acumen - a basic understanding of P&L coupled with a good understanding of cost management and how you can influence cost reduction across time, materials, and labour. You will have well-developed relationship-building skills which will enable you to build relationships in a large corporate environment and get the required support from internal stakeholders including SHEQ, P&C, finance IT, etc.
