Utilities Manager

1 week ago

Cape Town, South Africa Macdonald & Company Full time

Overview Imagine stepping into a role where your work directly safeguards millions in revenue every year, where the systems and processes you design today will shape how an entire portfolio manages energy and water for decades to come. This is not another routine utilities job, this is the chance to build a best‑in‑class utilities function from the ground up inside one of South Africa’s specialist retail property owners. You’ll sit at the very heart of innovation in resource management, turning raw data into actionable intelligence that protects the bottom line and drives smarter, greener decisions. The company behind this opportunity is a focused player in retail property. They operate an integrated service model that keeps everything in-house where it matters most, enjoy a long and trusted partnership with one of the country’s leading impact investors, and have built a genuine reputation for leadership in sustainability and renewable energy. Social impact is not a tick-box exercise here, it’s part of the DNA. This Utilities Manager position has been created because accurate, trusted utility data has become mission‑critical. You will become the custodian of truth for all electricity and water information across the portfolio. Day‑to‑day that means receiving feeds from service providers, diving deep into the numbers, spotting errors and anomalies that others miss, correcting them, and steadily building a robust database that will eventually allow predictive modelling and proactive recovery strategies. You’ll be the vital link between municipalities, external providers, and internal finance, technical and operations teams, requiring a rare mix of technical insight, financial literacy, and legal awareness around tariffs and recoveries. This is a highly autonomous role. You will help set up the department, choose and implement the systems and portals that will run it, and operate with the freedom (and accountability) that comes with knowing your work has immediate P&L impact. The ideal candidate issomeone who has lived and breathed property utilities, ideally someone who wakes up thinking about metering accuracy, recovery ratios and municipal statements. A relevant degree or diploma is required, along with proven experience running complex utility recoveries in a property environment. You must be completely at home with modern metering technologies, online portals and data interrogation tools, and able to operate independently while still engaging stakeholders at every level, from engineers to executives. If you’ve ever wanted to take everything you’ve learned about utilities management and apply it on a scale where your impact is unmistakable, this is it. You’ll be based in Cape Town and join a business that is serious about rewarding performance and ideas that move the needle.
