Asset Manager

Think Commercial is a commercial property management company overseeing a diverse portfolio of more than 30 properties spanning from Cairns to Brisbane. Known for our performance-driven results, attention to detail, and open, consistent communication, we create a collaborative and supportive environment. Our comprehensive service offering includes tailored advice for prospective tenants, expert leasing support, diverse property options, and seamless negotiations. 

About the Role

We're looking for someone who enjoys being both in the office and on-site, rolling up their sleeves to solve problems, coordinate contractors, and keep projects moving. One day you may be reviewing construction estimates and negotiating contractor pricing, and the next you'll be visiting sites, managing maintenance works, planning capital upgrades, or implementing preventative maintenance strategies. This is not a desk-bound project management role. It's a highly autonomous position for someone who enjoys variety, takes ownership, and thrives on turning plans into outcomes. You'll play a pivotal role in shaping the performance, presentation, and long-term value of our commercial property portfolio while building strong relationships with tenants, contractors, and stakeholders.

We're looking for someone who sees opportunities where others see problems. Someone who can confidently assess a project, challenge a quote, recommend a smarter solution, and then take the lead in making it happen. You'll be trusted to make decisions, drive projects forward, and have a genuine influence on how our assets are managed and improved. This role would suit an estimator, trade professional, facilities specialist, or project coordinator looking for the next step in their career. If you're ambitious, commercially minded, and excited by the opportunity to make a tangible impact within a growing business, you'll find plenty of scope to develop, contribute ideas, and make this role your own.

• Coach, mentor and develop team members through regular feedback, training and skills development initiatives.

• Support performance management processes, setting clear expectations and helping team members achieve their goals.

• Foster a collaborative, proactive and solutions-focused team culture that aligns with our business values.
