Overview
The Facilities Manager at Canvas Point Campus is responsible for the leadership and delivery of facilities and maintenance operations at Greystar’s flagship student accommodation community in Dublin. Reporting jointly to the Community Manager and Senior Facilities Manager, you will ensure technical services are safe, compliant, cost-effective, and aligned with Greystar’s operational and resident service standards.
