At Urban Utilities, our purpose is simple yet powerful – Enrich Quality of Life. With a $7 billion asset base and services spanning 1.5 million residents and more than 31,000 commercial customers across South East Queensland, we are committed to enhancing the liveability of our communities every day.
Fire systems and facilities across our treatment plants, pump stations, depots and offices need to be compliant, well-maintained and audit-ready, every day, without exception. As our Facilities & Fire System Project Manager, you will own that assurance: overseeing the Delivery Partner who maintains, inspects and tests these assets, and making sure the work holds up against Australian Standards, the Building Fire Safety Regulation and our own governance standards.
Your success in this role will be maintenance programs that run to schedule, defects that get closed out before they become risks, and a level of oversight that gives leadership genuine confidence in our compliance position.
You’ll sit within Maintenance Services, part of the Operations & Maintenance group, working alongside Operations, Networks, Facilities, Asset Management, Health and Safety and Capital Delivery. Reporting to the Maintenance Program Leader, you’ll be a key point of escalation for fire system performance and facilities maintenance, contributing directly to the safe and reliable operation of the infrastructure our communities depend on.
At Urban Utilities, we believe our workforce should reflect the community we serve. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and experiences, including First Nations peoples, people with disability, members of the LGBTIQ+ community, veterans, emergency responders and people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.
You might not meet every single requirement listed. If you are excited about the role and believe you can make a strong contribution, we encourage you to apply.
If you require adjustments at any stage of the recruitment process, please let us know so we can support you.
Urban Utilities delivers essential water and wastewater services to more than 1.5 million people across South East Queensland. Every day, our teams work to support thriving communities and a sustainable future.
There’s no us without you. Come shape the future with us.
