WHAT CHANGES THE SALARY FOR A FACILITIES ROLE?

A Facilities Manager overseeing one commercial building may spend much of the week coordinating contractors and resolving issues for occupants. Someone with the same title across several sites may also lead local teams, control a larger budget and report to senior stakeholders. Before comparing pay, check who owns the maintenance budget, supplier performance, staffing and escalations.

For senior appointments, establish whether the person will directly manage a team, lead an outsourced contract or set priorities across an estate. For support roles, check whether the person will log requests and pass them on or coordinate work through to completion.

The Facilities Assistant and Facilities Manager figures come from the Queensland Business Support table in the Robert Walters 2026 mid-year salary guide. The Facilities Coordinator figures are Australian starting salary percentiles from Robert Half’s 2026 Facilities Coordinator benchmark. Both sources exclude superannuation, bonuses and benefits for the figures shown.

Jora’s Senior Facilities Manager benchmark uses salary disclosures from full-time SEEK ads over a rolling three-month period. Some disclosures include superannuation or benefits. Figures are in Australian dollars per year. The sources cover different locations and use different methods, so compare each figure with a similar role rather than reading the figures as a single pay scale.
