At Matamata-Piako District Council, we're looking for an experienced Property and Facilities Advisor to help guide the planning, management, and future development of our buildings, community facilities, and property assets.

This is an opportunity to move beyond day-to-day facilities management and play a key role in strategic planning, asset management, and investment decisions that directly impact our communities.

About the Role

You'll provide practical technical and strategic advice on Council-owned buildings and facilities, contribute to asset management and renewal planning, and support the development of policies, strategies, service levels, maintenance plans and long-term planning documents. You'll also help with operational and capital forecasting, and work across Council to ensure our facilities remain fit for purpose, compliant, accessible and aligned with community needs.

About You

We're looking for a professional with experience in property, facilities, asset management, infrastructure, or a related field who can combine technical expertise with strategic thinking.

You will bring:

  • Experience managing or advising on property and facilities portfolios.
  • Strong understanding of asset management and lifecycle planning.
  • Knowledge of relevant legislation and regulatory requirements.
  • Excellent stakeholder engagement and communication skills.
  • The ability to provide practical, evidence-based advice and recommendations.
  • Clear report writing and presentation skills, with the ability to present sound advice to a range of audiences.
  • A relevant qualification or equivalent experience, and a full New Zealand Driver Licence.

Why Join Us?

This is a chance to make a lasting impact on the places and spaces our communities rely on every day.

Join a council committed to making a difference, where you'll have the opportunity to influence strategic decisions and help shape the future of community facilities across the district.

We do it right. We do it better. We do it together.

Ready to make an impact? Apply today and help shape the future of our community assets and facilities.
