Facilities Lead

Who are we?

While the name Diageo may be unfamiliar to you, our brands have most likely been with you while you create unforgettable moments of connection and celebration. Imagine supporting the future of some of the world's most-loved spirits brands - Smirnoff, Johnnie Walker, Bundaberg Rum - and growing possibilities within rising favourites like Don Julio, Ciroc, Ello and Aviation Gin. By joining Diageo Australia, you'll work alongside passionate teams across eight national locations, helping us deliver incredible performance while growing your own capability and career.

What will your role be?

As Diageo Australia's National Facilities Manager, you'll play a key role in ensuring our offices and manufacturing sites run smoothly, safely and efficiently every day. This role is hands-on and operational, overseeing maintenance activities, service contracts, vendor relationships, space management and site readiness so our people can work in environments that support productivity, comfort and safety. You'll help create workplaces that reflect Diageo's commitment to quality, compliance and continuous improvement.

You'll support the rollout of Diageo's facilities plans across Australia, contributing to decisions around budgeting, site upkeep and space utilisation. Working closely with Supply, HR, Finance and HSE, you'll make sure our sites remain compliant, audit-ready and aligned with Diageo's sustainability and safety expectations. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys being close to day-to-day operations while still contributing to meaningful improvements across our footprint.

Please note this is an initial 18-month contract opportunity.
