Georgetown University comprises two unique campuses in the nation’s capital. With the Hilltop Campus located in the heart of the historic Georgetown neighborhood, and the Capitol Campus, just minutes from the U.S. Capitol and U.S. Supreme Court, Georgetown University offers rigorous academic programs, a global perspective, and unparalleled opportunities to engage with Washington, D.C. Our community is a close-knit group of remarkable individuals driven by intellectual inquiry, a commitment to social justice, and a shared dedication to making a difference in the world.

Requirements

Tradition. Innovation. A superb faculty. Hundreds of course offerings — and all of this just steps away from the Capitol and Supreme Court. Georgetown Law is an exceptional institution in an enviable location. Students come here from all over the world to study international or tax law, environmental or health care law (just a few of our specialties). They come here for our top-ranked clinics. Most of all, they come because this is the place where theory and practice meet. At Georgetown, students learn the law in the place where laws are made.

Duties

The Senior Director for Facilities Management for the Law Center functions as the operational head of facilities management, utilities, custodial and parking services for the Capitol Campus. The Senior Director will be responsible for leading the daily operations and maintenance of campus facility infrastructure, custodial operations, parking operations and development of standard operating procedures, to support effective stewardship of university facility assets at the Law Center and on the larger Capitol Campus. The director will advocate and execute programs to ensure the innovative implementation of facility management technology to support the University in its mission to provide a living and learning campus. Duties include, but are not limited to:

• Provide strategic and tactical guidance, advice, and recommendations to the Chief Operating Officer regarding problems and critical matters pertaining to stewardship of campus facilities and infrastructure.
• Direct, develop, and implement administrative policies and organizational SOPs (standard operating procedures) which identify yearly organization goals, make maximum use of resources, strengthen internal control weakness and reduce operating costs.
• Plan and direct the work concerning facility operations, and determine and allocate required resources.
• Perform oversight to the administrative and human resource management functions relative to the staff supervised.
• Establish guidelines and performance expectations for staff members, which are clearly communicated through the formal employee performance management system.
• Coordinate necessary actions to ensure facilities are appropriately maintained based upon the desires of Law Center leadership, institutional needs, and established rules and policies.
• Formulate execution plans to forecast the work necessary to ensure the future care of facilities, reviewing records, inspecting equipment, assessing building systems conditions and determining where existing plans are insufficient to assure the appropriate care of the University's physical plant and facility assets.
• Prepare briefings and justifications as necessary to clearly communicate the need for specific projects and programs.
• Determine staff requirements for timely and effective project execution and project acquisition strategy, executing appropriate contract vehicles and recommending organizational structure changes to optimize performance.
• Direct preparation of support materials in support of annual budget requests and end-of-fiscal-year annual reports/requirements.
• Initiate investigations of poor quality replacement components and parts being supplied by vendors and contractors after analysis of failure rates, reports by maintenance organizations, or complaints from mechanics that the replacement components or parts are faulty.
