This position provides strategic leadership on facility planning, project delivery, and building design requirements, including permits and regulatory considerations. The Facilities Maintenance Manager ensures operational reliability of equipment and infrastructure and may oversee validation, cleaning, and inspection of laboratory equipment. Success requires strong customer service, precise communication, attention to detail, and broad knowledge of facility, scientific, and small business operations.

• Support capital planning, project scoping, budgeting, sourcing, cost optimization, and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Champion Health & Safety program requirements, ensuring training, audits, incident response, and strong safety culture across all sites.
• Act as a primary contact for facility issues and emergencies, ensuring timely response to minimize downtime and maintain safe, compliant operations.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

Minimum Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in manufacturing, engineering, or a related field (advanced degree preferred).
• Three or more years of people‑leadership experience in a manufacturing and/or distribution environment preferred.
• Working knowledge of EHS requirements related to facility operations and the built environment.
• Strong communication skills, including the ability to interact effectively in writing and verbally with customers, contractors, vendors, and regulatory authorities.
• Knowledge of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs); ability to follow SOPs is essential.
• Strong mathematical skills, including geometric and volumetric calculations.
• Strong planning and task‑prioritization skills.

Preferences

• Proven people‑leadership skills with recent supervisory experience and strong independent judgment/self‑starter work ethic.
• Hands‑on industrial maintenance expertise across mechanical, electrical, and HVAC/boiler systems, including troubleshooting and repair of plant equipment and utilities.
• 5+ years maintaining complex mechanical systems in building/plant environments, with proficiency using mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and general construction tools.
• Strong organizational, planning, time‑management, and project management capabilities; able to multitask and meet deadlines.
• Industrial Maintenance professional designation preferred (e.g., Industrial Mechanic/Millwright, Master Electrician).
• Experience with continuous improvement practices (Six Sigma, Lean, ISO‑based systems).
• Familiarity with facilities management, EH&S, and OSHA/city/state/federal codes.
• Effective communicator with the ability to execute and help develop/standardize operating procedures; multi‑facility support experience preferred.
