Facilities Technical Services Manager

The Opportunity: The opportunity

Are you ready to play a key role in shaping safe, reliable, and future‑ready facilities for our Hamilton community?

We’re looking for someone to plan and manage the delivery of technical facilities services across Hamilton City Council’s vertical asset portfolio. Your work will help ensure our buildings and infrastructure are fit for purpose, resilient, and ready to support the city’s growth.

In this role, you’ll work closely with the Facilities & Support leadership team to keep our building systems running safely, efficiently, and sustainably. You’ll provide technical advice to facility managers, support building compliance, and contribute to the ongoing development of our Corporate Facilities Asset Management Plan. You’ll also help shape and manage key programmes of work - from asset renewals to asbestos, painting, and condition‑assessment programmes and support the creation of business cases and project briefs that guide future investment.

If you’re someone who enjoys meaningful work, thrives in a collaborative environment, and wants to make a real impact on the places our community relies on every day, we’d love to hear from you.

Some of the key responsibilities for this role include:

• Oversee the operation and maintenance of building systems including HVAC, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, and security systems.
• Provide technical expertise and troubleshooting support across Council facilities.
• Ensure asset registers are maintained and accurate and condition assessments for technical systems are completed.
• Ensure facilities comply with relevant legislation, codes, and standards (e.g. Building Act, Health and Safety at Work Act).
• Support the procurement and management of service contracts for technical maintenance and upgrades.
• Provide technical input into facility upgrades, renewals, and new builds.
• Lead and support technical staff and/or contractors delivering services across Council facilities.
