Job description

Do you enjoy leading people and ensuring that facilities and workplace services run smoothly every day? Are you ready to take ownership of Facility Management at an important manufacturing site while helping shape how FM works across a global organisation?

As our new Facility Manager, you will establish and lead the Facility Management team at our ~125,000 ft² site in Noblesville, Indiana, supporting 350+ colleagues who produce innovative medical devices for customers around the world.

Reporting directly to the Head of Global Facility Management & Real Estate at Ambu’s headquarters in Denmark, you will join an international FM leadership team spanning the United States, Mexico, Denmark, China, and Malaysia. Alongside leading Facility Management in Noblesville, you will help co-create global FM standards, processes, tools, and best practices with colleagues across Ambu’s international sites. What works in Noblesville may become tomorrow’s global best practice.

You will start by getting to know the site, its people, and its operational needs. From there, you will establish a clear and globally-aligned FM operating model, strengthen collaboration with Engineering, HR, and other functions, and ensure that responsibilities, interfaces, and accountability are clearly defined.

Key Responsibilities

Your main responsibilities will include:

• Establish and professionalise the Facility Management team at the Noblesville site.
• Lead, develop, and manage a local Facility Management team with direct reports, including setting priorities, managing performance, and building team capabilities.
• Ensure that Ambu’s Noblesville facility works reliably every day, providing colleagues with the safe and well-functioning environment they need to produce high-quality products for our customers.
• Clarify FM responsibilities and interfaces with Engineering, HR, Procurement and other site functions.
• Manage facility suppliers, contracts, service quality, compliance, costs, and continuous improvement.
• Assess facility assets, risks, maintenance practices, costs, and capability gaps, and establish structured improvement plans.
• Identify, pilot and drive digitalisation and AI efforts with the aim of delivering effective and modern Facility Management services.
• Develop facility and asset plans that support operational growth, reliability, compliance, sustainability, and business continuity.
• Manage FM budgets, reporting, performance measures, and facility projects.
• Build trusted relationships with local stakeholders and connect the Noblesville site with Ambu's global FM organisation.
• Contribute to Ambu's global FM development by co-creating processes, standards, tools, KPIs, and best practices with FM colleagues across our international sites.

Examples of the scope include building maintenance, HVAC, electrical and water systems, fire protection, workplace services, cleaning, catering, space management, external areas, contractor management, refurbishment projects, and asset planning. These examples are not exhaustive, and the scope will continue to develop as the FM function and division of responsibilities are established.

You will have a dotted-line relationship with the local VP of Operations and collaborate closely with Site Leadership, Engineering, HR, EHS, Quality, Procurement, Finance, IT, and Production.
