About the Role

Reporting to the Chief Operating Officer, this role leads maintenance and procurement services across our residential, community, and retirement living sites.

You’ll balance hands on technical work, team leadership, and smart procurement decisions, ensuring our facilities are safe, compliant, and always presentation ready.

• Coordinating and mentoring a skilled maintenance team
• Managing contractors, suppliers, and service agreements
• Overseeing procurement, quotes, tenders, and budgets

• Keeping our sites audit-ready and residents safe and comfortable
• Being part of a shared after-hours emergency maintenance roster

What We’re Looking For, You’re someone who:

• Has a recognised trade qualification and solid building or maintenance management experience
• Is organised, practical, and calm under pressure
• Enjoys leading people and building a positive team culture
• Understands procurement, contracts, and budgets (or is keen to grow in this space)
• Takes pride in doing things properly, safely, ethically, and transparently
• Communicates well with everyone from contractors, trades, suppliers, to site managers to residents
• Experience in aged care, health, or residential facilities is highly regarded, but your attitude, leadership, and values matter just as much.

Why Join Bene?

• Meaningful work that directly supports resident wellbeing
• A values driven organisation that genuinely cares about its people
• A supportive executive leadership team who value collaboration and initiative
• Variety, autonomy, and the chance to make a visible impact
• Stability with room to grow and influence how things are done
