Facilities Manager

Job Description ROLE SUMMARY

The Facilities Manager is accountable for the safety, function, cleanliness, and operational readiness of all Greaves Corporation facilities. This role owns building systems — HVAC, compressed air, electrical, plumbing, fire/life safety, and general infrastructure — and is accountable for ensuring maintenance is completed, whether performed by internal staff or the outside licensed contractors that support work beyond internal scope. The Facilities Manager leads the facilities team (maintenance technicians, janitorial staff, and support contractors), sets standards for building operations, and negotiates and manages vendor contracts for licensed trades.

This is a leadership role that requires strong technical competence, disciplined project and vendor management, and mature people leadership grounded in LMA (Leadership, Management, and Accountability) principles.

• High school diploma or GED required.
• Associate’s or bachelor’s degree in Facilities Management, Construction Management, Engineering, or a related technical field is preferred.
• Trade certifications in HVAC, electrical, or plumbing are strongly preferred; active journeyman or master licenses are a plus.
• OSHA 30 certification required within 90 days of hire.
• Forklift certification required, or ability to obtain within 30 days.
• Scissor lift and aerial work platform certification required, or ability to obtain within 30 days.
• Valid driver’s license required.

• Minimum 7–10 years of progressive facilities, building maintenance, or construction experience.
• At least 3–5 years in a management or team lead role with direct responsibility for the performance and development of technicians, janitorial staff, or contractors.
• Demonstrated competence in HVAC systems: rooftop units, split systems, ductless, controls, and refrigeration cycle troubleshooting.
• Demonstrated competence in electrical systems: single- and three-phase distribution, motor controls, lighting, and basic panel work, with clear judgment on when work must be escalated to a licensed electrician.
• Demonstrated competence in compressed air systems, plumbing basics, and general building infrastructure.
• Working knowledge of basic construction methods: framing, drywall, painting, flooring, doors/hardware, and roofing basics.
• Experience negotiating, managing, and holding accountable outside vendors for licensed HVAC, electrical, plumbing, roofing, fire/life safety, and janitorial services.
• Strong project management skills: scoping, quoting, scheduling, budgeting, and executing capital and repair projects.
• Working knowledge of building codes, OSHA workplace safety requirements, and preventative maintenance program development.
• Proficient in Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, Outlook); experience with CMMS (computerized maintenance management system) preferred.

• Lead the facilities team through disciplined application of LMA: give clear expectations, keep the right meeting pulse, communicate well, reward and recognize, and hold people accountable to the standards.
• Conduct structured weekly 1:1s with each direct report focused on performance, coaching, development, and blockers; document commitments and follow-up.
• Own the facilities Scorecard: define measurables, review weekly, and drive corrective action when the numbers slip.
• Set and enforce clear standards for work quality, timeliness, safety, and workplace conduct across the team.
• Coach and develop maintenance technicians, janitorial staff, and contract labor toward higher skill levels and greater ownership of scope.
• Manage performance issues promptly and honestly: recognize when work is on track, address it directly when it is not, and document consistently.
• Interview, and onboard new team members and contractors; maintain a cross-training and coverage plan to reduce single points of failure.

• Maintain preventative and corrective maintenance on HVAC, electrical, compressed air, plumbing, and general building systems within skill and legal scope.
• Troubleshoot system failures and lead recovery, coordinating outside licensed technicians when scope exceeds internal capability or licensing requirements.
• Maintain a documented preventative maintenance schedule for all critical systems; execute or assign PMs
