Job description

Facilities Manager – Industrial Ammonia Refrigeration Leader

We are conducting a search for an experienced Facilities Manager to join a well-established food manufacturing operation in Northern Kentucky.

This is a high-impact leadership role overseeing critical plant utilities in a fast-paced 24/7 production environment. If you are a hands‑on industrial facilities professional with deep expertise in ammonia refrigeration systems and PSM/RMP compliance, this could be an excellent career move.

About the Role

You will lead or provide significant technical and leadership support for all facility utilities and infrastructure. This includes owning reliability and compliance for large-scale ammonia refrigeration systems, while also managing boilers, compressed air, HVAC, facility maintenance, contractor relationships, emergency response, and overall plant utilities.

This is not a commercial or office‑building facilities role. We are looking for someone with true industrial manufacturing experience — ideally from food production, beverage, dairy, cold storage, meat processing, or similar heavy industrial environments with significant ammonia refrigeration operations.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead PSM/RMP execution and compliance for ammonia refrigeration systems
• Drive reliability and maintenance programs for refrigeration, boilers, compressed air, HVAC, and facility infrastructure
• Manage contractors and external service providers
• Support emergency response and utility optimization in a 24/7 food manufacturing setting
• Ensure safety, compliance, and operational efficiency of all plant utilities

What You Bring

• Strong hands‑on experience with ammonia refrigeration systems and PSM/RMP programs
• Proven leadership or significant support experience in industrial utilities
• Background in food manufacturing or similar regulated industrial environments (highly preferred)
• Technical depth combined with the ability to lead teams and projects
• Flexibility to support a 24/7 operation as needed
