MAKE A REAL IMPACT IN THE COMMUNITY

Your work at the City will directly support the delivery of essential community services — from libraries and cultural venues to community centres and recreational spaces. By ensuring our buildings are safe, sustainable, and well-managed, you’ll play a key role in supporting Sydney’s diverse communities and enhancing their experience of public spaces. This is more than a job — it’s a chance to give back to the community and create a positive legacy through the built environment.
The City manages over 1,500 property interests valued at more than $2.7 billion, including heritage-listed civic buildings, commercial properties, and community infrastructure. As a Property Asset Manager, you will take ownership of a portfolio of assets and be responsible for both the facilities and property management aspects that contribute to service excellence and asset performance. We are seeking candidates with an ability to think commercially and strategically, capable of balancing community outcomes with operational efficiency, risk management, and financial sustainability.
