JOB DESCRIPTION SUMMARY
The SFM holds direct line management responsibility for all site-based technical staff including the Facilities Manager (Point Campus) and Lead Maintenance Technicians across the portfolio. While Community Managers (CMs) retain day-to-day operational leadership, the SFM ensures delivery of high-quality, safe, and cost-effective facilities services. The SFM collaborates with CMs to support financial planning, compliance obligations, and service excellence, without burdening them with technical oversight responsibilities.
The role also plays a critical part in supporting Greystar’s corporate office and strategic growth in Ireland, contributing technical insight during acquisitions, managing mobilisation of new assets, and ensuring systems, contracts, and operational readiness align with Greystar standards.

"Working at Greystar has been an eye opening experience. From day one my supervisors have been enthusiastic and attentive to everything I need to be great at my job. I feel appreciated and know that I’m an important asset to them. Everyday I’m encouraged to improve my knowledge and develop new financial skills while being excited to do so. I was also nervous transitioning from the Marine Corps into the civilian workforce, but with the support of the Greystar accounting family that transition has been much easier."
