Facilities Director

We are seeking a strategic and technical Facilities Director to lead the operational excellence of our diverse client portfolio. This role is responsible for the physical integrity and long-term asset preservation of a multi-faceted campus environment.

As the Director, you will bridge the gap between high-level strategy and technical execution. You will lead a team of maintenance professionals, manage departmental resources, and ensure our facilities remain a premier destination for students, staff, and visitors.

  • Strategic Leadership: Provide technical guidance and mentorship to a team of skilled maintenance personnel, fostering a culture of safety, efficiency, and professional growth.
  • Asset Management: Oversee the physical upkeep of a Class A portfolio including student housing, academic facilities, warehouses, and office buildings.
  • Operational Excellence: Implement and manage a Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) to track work orders, spare parts, and maintenance history.
  • Financial & Vendor Oversight: Manage the maintenance budget, evaluate new equipment/supplies, and initiate RFPs for specialized contract work (HVAC, elevator, etc.).
  • Performance Optimization: Track and analyze key maintenance parameters—such as asset utilization and PM compliance—to minimize unplanned downtime.
  • Compliance & Safety: Ensure all city, county, state, and federal regulations are met. Direct and enforce the departmental safety program to uphold maximum standards for all staff.
Position Specifications The Must-Haves
  • Professional Certification: Current Certified Facility Manager (CFM) credential (highly preferred) or a recognized MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) certification.
  • Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Facilities Maintenance, Engineering, Building Technology, or a related field.
  • Experience: Significant experience in a facilities leadership role, including project planning, budget development, and team management.
  • Technical Literacy: Proficiency in business solution software, CMMS, and general finance/accounting concepts.
Preferred Experience
  • Education Industry: Previous experience managing facilities within a college, university, or campus-style environment is strongly preferred.
Why This Role?

This is a high-visibility position where you will have the autonomy to implement industry best practices and influence the day-to-day experience of our campus community. We value proactive leaders who view facilities management as a cornerstone of institutional success.
