• Plan, prepare, and oversee operating budgets, variance reporting, and capital projects, ensuring sound financial management and strategic execution.
• Conduct facility inspections and ensure compliance with local, state, and federal regulations while maintaining high standards for quality, safety, and operational excellence.
• Develop and enforce environmental health and safety programs and procedures that support a safe and productive workplace.
• Build and maintain strong vendor partnerships, oversee invoicing processes, and review and approve purchase orders for parts, services, and labor.
• Identify opportunities for operational improvements, repairs, and upgrades, implementing solutions that enhance efficiency, reliability, and workplace experience.
• Apply broad business and technical expertise to align facilities operations with client objectives and broader organizational initiatives.
• Travel to remote office locations in Atlanta and Charlotte on a quarterly basis, and as needed, to maintain strong client relationships, oversee operations, and ensure consistent service delivery across the portfolio.
• Resolve complex operational and technical challenges with a proactive, solutions‑oriented approach.
• Serve as a mentor and role model, promoting CBRE’s RISE values while driving continuous improvement, collaboration, and accountability across the team.

What You’ll Need:

• Bachelor’s degree preferred with 5-8 years of facilities management experience; a combination of education and applicable experience will be considered in lieu of a degree.
• Experience managing a multi‑site commercial office portfolio is strongly preferred.
• Experience supporting a high‑profile corporate client, preferably within the Financial & Professional Services (FPS) sector, is preferred.
• Facility Management certification (IFMA, BOMA, FMP, CFM, or similar) is a plus.
• Demonstrated experience managing operating budgets, capital projects, accruals, deferrals, forecasting, and variance reporting.
• Proven success leading teams, including staffing, coaching, performance management, employee development, and retention.
• Strong client‑facing communication skills with the ability to effectively present information, manage expectations, and navigate sensitive or complex situations.
• Proven leadership ability with a track record of motivating teams, driving accountability, and delivering results across multiple locations.
• Experience managing vendor relationships, service contracts, and third‑party service providers.
• Strong working knowledge of building operations, maintenance programs, compliance requirements, and workplace services within a commercial office environment.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite, including Excel, Outlook, Word, and Teams.
