The Cedar Park site consists of a 50/50 employee split of in‑house staff and outsourced services. The Facilities Manager must be equally credible supervising technicians and holding vendors to contract.

• Manage outsourced service providers against scope, SLA, and budget; run scorecards and quarterly business reviews.
• Build and document repeatable operating procedures — preventive maintenance schedules, work order intake and triage, escalation paths, and after‑hours response.
• Own the site operating budget; forecast, track variance, and identify cost reduction without service degradation.
• Establish and report site‑level service metrics including work order completion, response time, PM compliance, and customer satisfaction.
• Partner with EHS on compliance, inspections, permits, and audit readiness.
• Support capital and construction projects at the site as the operations stakeholder.

• 8+ years in facilities operations, including 3+ years managing people.
• Demonstrated experience managing both in‑house staff and third‑party service contracts.

• Bachelor's degree in Facilities Management, Engineering, Construction Management, Business Administration, or a related field; equivalent combination of education, military service, technical training, certifications, and progressively responsible facilities management experience will also be considered.
• Experience in both corporate campus and manufacturing/industrial environments.
• Track record standing up or overhauling a preventive maintenance program.
