Facilities Manager

The Facilities Manager reports to the Director of Natural Resources and is a hands-on, self-directed role responsible for the upkeep, repair, and long-term maintenance of TLC's offices, preserve facilities, buildings, houses, major equipment, parking lots, and access roads. Working closely with land management teams and senior leadership, the Facilities Manager identifies and prioritizes facility needs, completes repairs and maintenance, and leads larger repair and renovation projects, including managing outside contractors when the work is beyond what can reasonably be done in-house. The Facilities Manager spends most days out at TLC properties across our six-county service area, with time built in for planning, contractor coordination, and administrative tasks.
