Job description

As a global leader in radiation safety, detection and measurement, Mirion Technologies is advancing radiation safety through innovative technologies and solutions.

The Facilities Manager is responsible for the total upkeep, reliability, and safety of the Cambridge facility, including the building infrastructure and the industrial equipment base that supports manufacturing operations. This role owns the preventive maintenance program for critical production assets (swagers, drawers, welders, ovens, pumps, vacuum systems, and related equipment), ensuring machine uptime, regulatory compliance, and a safe working environment. As a qualified millwright, the Facilities Manager is capable of hands-on diagnosis, repair, alignment, and installation of industrial machinery, in addition to managing outside contractors and vendors.

This position will own Environmental Health and Safety and take a leadership role in the JHSC. In partnership with Operations, Engineering, and Finance, the Facilities Manager also contributes to long-range facility planning—defining capacity, layout, and infrastructure requirements needed to support the current site's growth as well as potential future facility expansion. This role balances daily reactive and preventive maintenance execution with proactive capital and space planning to ensure the facility can scale with the business.

Asset Reliability & Capital Planning

• Maintain equipment records, maintenance history, and reliability metrics (MTBF, MTTR, PM compliance) to drive data-based maintenance decisions.
• Partner with Manufacturing and Engineering to identify recurring equipment failures and lead root-cause analysis and corrective actions.
• Develop capital expenditure recommendations for equipment replacement, facility upgrades, and infrastructure investment, with supporting justification and ROI.
• Collaborate with Manufacturing, Engineering, Supply Chain, and Finance to define potential growth plans for the current facility, including layout, capacity, and utility requirements needed to support increased volume.
• Provide technical input into evaluation of future facility options as the business grows, including site infrastructure, utility capacity, and equipment relocation/installation requirements.

Safety, Compliance & Environmental

• Ensure all facility and maintenance activities comply with applicable safety, environmental, and regulatory requirements (OHSA, Ontario ECA, local codes, and Mirion EHS policies).
• Maintain compliance documentation for equipment inspections, permits, and regulated systems (e.g., pressure vessels, fire suppression, electrical systems).
• Lead lockout/tagout (LOTO), confined space, and other safety programs related to facility and equipment work.

Leadership & Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Prioritize and coordinate maintenance work orders in alignment with production priorities and the site's tiered daily management system.
• Partner with Manufacturing Management and Engineering to schedule planned maintenance and equipment installation with minimal impact to production.
• Manage the facilities and maintenance budget, including labor, spare parts, contracted services, and capital projects.
