What you'll do:

• Own All Things Facilities. Make sure the building and Canva's services are working correctly. This includes setting up and maintaining preventative maintenance schedules, service level agreements are set and adhered to, working closely with our contractors, tracking our assets, ensuring our schedule of audits are actioned and tickets are worked through and cleared. Work closely with base build organisations. Environments within the building should be maintained at all times so our staff can enjoy a pleasant working space.
• Construction Project Management. Administrate the construction of our office spaces and new projects. Work closely with the architect from initial concept through to delivering the final build and sign off. This will involve strong experience in documentation, supply coordination, compliance, regulation, work health and safety, communication with contractors, scope, timeline, forecasting projections and budgeting experience.
• Work Health & Safety & Compliance. Ensure the spaces Canva occupies comply with WHS regulations. And ensure that any facilities and construction works are compliant and that any incidents or hazards are reported and resolved. This also includes regular training for both security, emergency & evacuation training. Work alongside our People team to ensure the WHS policy is adhered to and actioned when needed.
• Capacity Planning. Track and forecast all real estate options. Help conduct feasibility assessments of potential sites and projections are captured in conjunction with real estate options.
• Innovation and Processes. Review and refresh operational processes within the facilities & construction team. Research new and innovative tools and products that will push Canva into a realm of its own.
