ABOUT THE ROLE

As the Maintenance Coordinator, you'll be responsible for managing a portfolio of maintenance work involved in the care of CEHL properties.

Your key accountabilities will include assessing the scope of work required, allocating work orders, offering advice to our members regarding priorities for cyclical maintenance works, and allocating priority of works. You'll coordinate the maintenance of vacant properties to minimise un-tenantable periods, inspect properties on site as needed, and summarise inspection reports. You'll estimate budget allocations, recruit, and monitor tradespersons, and observe Occupational Health and Safety requirements while ensuring contractors demonstrate compliance.
