• Serve TEC operating locations as the department’s primary internal customer; oversee third‑party tenant relations, R&M billing, and condition reporting; support lease transactions with make‑ready and condition assessments
• Provide structured feedback to Design and Construction team, own the facility hand‑off process, and develop the Facility Operations Manual
• Provide matrixed leadership to regional facility managers including training, standards, and performance input, with staffing authority expanding as the department matures; recruit added facility management capacity
