Prepare and manage site facilities operating budgets and forecasts, monitor expenditures, validate invoices, maintain financial controls, and ensure effective stewardship of facilities resources.

Conduct routine facility assessments and support infrastructure planning efforts to identify operational risks, capacity constraints, asset lifecycle requirements, and opportunities for continuous improvement.

Lead site response to facility emergencies, system outages, and business continuity events while promoting site stewardship, housekeeping, material storage standards, and overall facility condition.

Bachelor’s degree in Facilities Management, Engineering, Construction Management, or a related field, or equivalent relevant experience.

5–7 years of progressive experience in facilities management, industrial maintenance, manufacturing operations, construction management, or a related field.

Experience supporting aerospace, defense, advanced manufacturing, automotive, industrial, or similarly complex operating environments.

Strong working knowledge of commercial and industrial building systems, including HVAC, electrical distribution, plumbing, fire/life safety systems, building controls, compressed air, and industrial utilities.

Demonstrated experience leading facilities operations, maintenance programs, contractors, projects, and space planning activities within an industrial or manufacturing environment.

Experience managing operating budgets, variance reporting, expenditures, vendor contracts, and financial controls.

Demonstrated experience utilizing a CMMS or similar facilities management platform to manage assets, preventive maintenance programs, and work-order processes.
