Partnering closely with executive leadership, this person will modernize facility operations through digital management tools, preventive maintenance programs, and process improvements that enhance reliability and cost-effectiveness. The role also includes oversight of vendor relationships, compliance with safety and environmental standards, and coordination with architects and contractors on renovations and capital projects.

Key Responsibilities:‍

• Lead the planning and execution of all facility maintenance, repairs, and capital improvements across multiple properties.
• Implement and manage a digital operations platform to streamline work orders, preventive maintenance, and asset tracking.
• Develop policies, procedures, and standards to improve efficiency and long-term sustainability.
• Oversee budgets, vendor contracts, and insurance compliance while maintaining strong relationships with service providers.
• Supervise and support the facilities, custodial, and maintenance teams, fostering a collaborative, high-performance culture.
• Ensure compliance with building codes, ADA standards, fire and safety regulations, and environmental requirements.
• Partner with leadership to anticipate operational needs, allocate resources effectively, and plan for future growth.
• Coordinate logistics for events, office moves, and emergency preparedness.

What We’re Looking For:‍

• 7–10+ years of facilities management experience overseeing complex, multi-building environments, including at least 2 years in a supervisory capacity.
• Strong knowledge of building systems (HVAC, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and control systems).
• Proven ability to implement operational technology and process improvements.
• Excellent communication, organizational, and leadership skills.
• Degree in engineering, construction management, or a related field (or equivalent professional experience).
• A proactive, solution-oriented mindset with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-moving environment.
