The role partners with Regional Managers to implement TREK's facilities standards, trains technicians, and manages capital projects. Strong communication and HVAC systems knowledge are essential for success.

Experience managing capital projects budget, schedule, and vendor coordination preferred.
Strong communicator, comfortable working directly with Regional Managers, site teams, and the HVAC Technician.
IFMA certification (FMP/CFM) a plus, not required.

Responsibilities

Serve as the primary facilities resource for Regional and Lease-Up Managers.
Own non-HVAC facilities-related vendor contracts across the portfolio — service agreements, renewals, and vendor performance for systems outside the HVAC Technician's scope.
Confirm the HVAC Technician's PM program is aligned with broader facilities standards and capital planning; the HVAC Technician owns day-to-day HVAC/mechanical PM scheduling, completion, and documentation.
Flag underperforming vendors to the Director; support the HVAC Technician on vendor escalations that carry compliance or capital implications.
Own life-safety compliance across the portfolio to include fire alarm, sprinkler, fire extinguisher, elevator, generator, and related systems.
Maintain the inspection and testing schedule for every property; confirm each inspection is completed and documented on time.
Manage life-safety vendor relationships scope of work, performance, pricing, and response time.
Own corrective action on any life-safety deficiency, scope the fix, engage the vendor or HVAC Technician as appropriate, and confirm resolution.
Keep Regional Managers informed of life-safety status and risk at their properties; elevate compliance exposure to the Director.
Build and maintain training materials and job aids for HVAC, mechanical, and life-safety systems used across the portfolio; direct the HVAC Technician's involvement in hands-on training.
Own onboarding of new maintenance technicians on portfolio-specific systems within their first 90 days.
Monitor facilities condition across the portfolio against TREK's facilities standards.
Partner with Regional Managers to execute facilities standards at the property level, walk properties, identify deficiencies, and drive resolution.
Escalate facilities risks or capital needs to the Director of Facilities & Capital Strategy.
Manage capital projects within the assigned portfolio from scope through completion budget, schedule, vendor coordination, and quality control.
Coordinate with the Director of Facilities & Capital Strategy on capital plan priorities and owner-approved budgets.
Serve as the point of contact for complex or portfolio-level facilities emergencies — not part of a defined on-call rotation, but available to support escalation, coordinate resolution among vendors and site staff, and communicate status directly to the Senior Leadership Team (SLT) as needed.
