Job Opportunity Potential
A Graduate Diploma in Facilities Management will help progress your career by providing opportunities for promotion within existing roles or enabling transition to new roles. Graduates will have the knowledge to take on roles that require operational and managerial skills for managing buildings and facilities in public and private organisations as in-house facilities managers or external facilities management consultants.
You will be in demand
There is a strong demand for facilities managers in New Zealand, with many employers saying it’s difficult to find the right person for the job. Around 30% of employers who took part in a survey conducted by FMANZ in 2018 said they have sourced candidates from overseas because they couldn’t find the right person for the job in New Zealand. This is due, in part, to the fact no New Zealand university has offered a tertiary-level pathway in facilities management until now. In the same survey, 62% of facilities managers said they had been headhunted by another company.
