• Identify, troubleshoot, and resolve day‑to‑day and moderately complex operational challenges, implementing effective solutions and continuously improving processes and systems.

What You’ll Need:

• Proven experience managing commercial facilities, including day‑to‑day operations, maintenance programs, regulatory compliance, and vendor performance management.


• Working knowledge of Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) systems and building infrastructure.


• Demonstrated leadership experience overseeing onsite teams, including setting performance expectations, providing coaching and development, conducting performance evaluations, and fostering a culture of accountability and engagement.


• Bachelor’s degree preferred, with 3–5 years of relevant facilities management experience. An equivalent combination of education and experience will be considered. A valid driver’s license is required. Facilities Management certification (e.g., FMP, CFM) is preferred.


• Experience developing, managing, and monitoring operating and capital budgets, with a strong understanding of financial controls and cost management practices.


• Excellent interpersonal, relationship‑building, and communication skills, with the ability to effectively collaborate with clients, vendors, and cross‑functional teams.


• Strong problem‑solving and decision‑making abilities, including the capacity to navigate complex situations, resolve issues, and influence positive outcomes.


• Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite, including Excel, Word, Outlook, and related business applications, with strong technical aptitude and the ability to learn new systems quickly.
