Works Coordinator - Maintenance and Facilities
About the Role
ASSA ABLOY is the global leader in access solutions, and our Melbourne manufacturing site is home to iconic Australian brands like Lockwood, Yale, and Abloy. We are looking for a practical, hands-on Works Coordinator who understands the floor, knows how to talk to contractors, and takes pride in a site that runs like clockwork.
This isn’t a desk-bound engineering role. You’ll be the bridge between our production teams and our service providers, ensuring our plant, equipment, and facilities operate safely and reliably every single shift.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Maintenance Planning: Coordinate scheduled preventative maintenance and safety checks to minimise downtime.
- Contractor Management: Act as the primary site contact for all external service providers (Electrical, Mechanical, Plumbing, and Security).
- Site Upgrades: Support capital works projects and equipment installs alongside the Facilities Supervisor.
- Spare Parts & Inventory: Identify and track critical spare parts to ensure we’re always ready for repairs.
- Safety & Compliance: Conduct site audits, monitor safety equipment, and ensure all maintenance records are documented and audit-ready.
What You’ll Bring
- Real-World Experience: You have a solid background in a maintenance or facilities role within a manufacturing or industrial environment.
- Trade Background: A trade qualification (Mechanical, Electrical, or similar) is highly regarded. You speak the language of the floor.
- Organisation Skills: You’re a "finisher" who can prioritise tasks in a fast-paced environment and keep the paperwork sharp.
- Practical Mindset: You are solutions-focused and comfortable working with systems and databases to track site performance.
- Safety First: You take zero-harm seriously and lead by example when it comes to site hazards.
Why Join Us?
- Work with well-known Australian brands
- Stable, permanent full-time role
- Supportive team environment
- Career development within a global organisation
- Exposure to manufacturing, facilities and capital projects
