This is a dynamic position suited for a proactive individual who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is capable of handling multiple responsibilities simultaneously.
Key Responsibilities
Facilities and Maintenance Management
In this role, you will take ownership of the overall condition and functionality of facilities, infrastructure, and equipment. You will be responsible for developing and implementing structured preventative maintenance programmes designed to minimise operational downtime and extend the lifespan of assets. This includes scheduling regular inspections, servicing, and repairs to ensure that all equipment and systems operate efficiently.
You will also coordinate and manage contractors and service providers, ensuring that all work carried out meets quality standards, is completed within agreed timelines, and stays within budget constraints. Maintaining accurate records, including asset registers, maintenance schedules, and service logs, will form an essential part of your duties.
In addition, you will be required to respond promptly to equipment breakdowns or facility-related issues, ensuring minimal disruption to business operations through timely resolution and effective coordination.
Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Compliance
A key component of this role is ensuring strict compliance with the Occupational Health and Safety Act 85 of 1993 and all relevant regulations. You will support the implementation and continuous improvement of the organisation’s OHS management system, ensuring that all safety standards are consistently met.
Your responsibilities will include coordinating OHS activities such as inspections, audits, and risk assessments. You will also assist in facilitating legal safety appointments, including OHS representatives, first aiders, and fire fighters where required.
Ensuring that all statutory safety signage, emergency procedures, and safety equipment are properly installed, maintained, and compliant is essential. You will also be responsible for maintaining accurate compliance documentation, including incident reports, safety registers, and risk assessment records.
Security Management
The Facilities Coordinator will oversee all site security operations to ensure a safe and controlled environment. This includes managing access control systems, security personnel, surveillance systems such as CCTV, and alarm systems.
You will monitor and evaluate the performance of security service providers, ensuring they adhere to contractual obligations and company standards. Responsibilities also include implementing and maintaining site access procedures for employees, visitors, and contractors.
In the event of security incidents such as theft or breaches, you will investigate the matter, identify root causes, and implement corrective actions. Conducting regular security risk assessments and ensuring that emergency response protocols are in place will also be part of your duties.
Risk Management and Incident Control
You will play a vital role in identifying workplace hazards and conducting risk assessments to mitigate potential risks. This includes investigating incidents and near-misses, determining root causes, and implementing preventative measures to avoid recurrence.
Ensuring that all employees adhere to safe work procedures and policies is critical. You will actively promote a culture of safety awareness and continuous improvement within the organisation, encouraging best practices in risk management and compliance.
Project and Contractor Coordination
The role involves coordinating various facilities-related projects such as upgrades, refurbishments, and compliance improvements. You will manage project timelines, budgets, and resource allocation to ensure successful project delivery.
Additionally, you will oversee contractor compliance with safety standards and operational requirements while supporting procurement processes related to maintenance and facilities services. Your ability to coordinate multiple stakeholders effectively will be essential for project success.
Reporting and Administration
Accurate reporting and record-keeping are key aspects of this position. You will prepare and maintain detailed reports covering maintenance activities, compliance status, incidents, and project progress.
Monitoring key performance indicators such as maintenance completion rates, equipment downtime, and compliance levels will help drive operational efficiency. You will also ensure that all documentation is well-organised and readily available for audits and internal reviews.

Applicants should have demonstrated experience in managing contractors and vendors, as well as strong organisational, planning, and problem-solving skills. The ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment is critical for success in this role.
Proficiency in Microsoft Office, particularly Excel, is essential, along with strong reporting and administrative capabilities. Previous experience in a supervisory or team leadership role will be advantageous.
Key Competencies
The ideal candidate will possess a high level of attention to detail and accountability, ensuring that all tasks are completed accurately and efficiently. A proactive, solutions-driven mindset is essential, as the role requires identifying challenges and implementing effective solutions.
Strong interpersonal and communication skills are necessary to interact with internal teams, contractors, and stakeholders. The ability to influence others and enforce compliance with policies and procedures is also critical.
