Facilities Manager

Advanced Technology Systems Company (ATSC) is seeking an experienced, hands-on Facilities Manager to take full ownership of a manufacturing facility's physical plant, systems, budget, and vendor ecosystem. This is not a dispatch role. This person will personally diagnose and repair building systems, HVAC, electrical, lighting, general carpentry, painting, and everything in between, while also owning the strategic side of the function: facility audits, preventive maintenance planning, budgeting, parts inventory, and vendor management.

The right candidate operates with minimal to no team support day-to-day, is comfortable being the most technically capable person in the building, and can pivot seamlessly between fixing a failed compressor, walking a code-compliance audit, and presenting a facility budget to leadership. This role currently oversees the facility cleaning crew, with the expectation that a maintenance technician will be added to the team following this person's initial comprehensive facility assessment.

The ideal candidate is a hands-on, strategic Facilities Manager with extensive experience leading facilities operations in a manufacturing or industrial environment. This individual is proactive and understands that maintaining a safe, efficient, and reliable facility is critical to supporting production, quality, and business objectives. This person has a proven track record of managing facility maintenance, capital improvement projects, building systems, and vendor relationships while ensuring compliance with OSHA, environmental regulations, and applicable building codes.

They are equally comfortable developing long-term facility strategies and rolling up their sleeves to resolve operational challenges.

The Facilities Manager reports into Operations leadership and functions as the single point of accountability for facility condition, uptime, and compliance across a manufacturing environment supporting fast-paced, deadline-driven production and program schedules. The Facilities Manager will present findings, budgets, and risk assessments directly to operations and executive leadership, and will be the on-site authority whenever contractors, inspectors, or government evaluators are present.

The facility cleaning crew reports to this role initially; a future maintenance technician hire will be scoped and justified based on this person's facility assessment, and will also report into this position.

• Comprehensive Facility Audit:
  Conduct a full physical plant assessment within the first weeks on the job—building systems, structure, safety, and code compliance— and use findings to justify staffing, budget, and capital investment decisions.
• Preventive Maintenance Program:
  Build and manage a documented maintenance plan and schedule covering HVAC, electrical, lighting, plumbing, life‑safety systems, doors/dock equipment, and general building infrastructure.
• Compliance & Inspections:
  Own facility compliance across OSHA, fire/life‑safety, environmental, and applicable building codes; manage inspection cycles, close out findings, and maintain audit‑ready documentation at all times.
• Government & Customer Facility Readiness:
  Prepare and personally walk the facility for customer or government evaluator site visits, ensuring the physical plant reflects operational discipline.
• Facility Budget Ownership:
  Build, manage, and report against an annual facility operating and capital budget, using Excel-based tracking to forecast spend and flag variances to leadership.
• Parts & Repair Inventory:
  Establish and manage a stocking strategy for common repair parts and consumables to minimize downtime, balancing on-hand inventory against carrying cost.
• Vendor Sourcing & Strategy:
  Source, vet, and onboard service vendors (HVAC, electrical, fire/life‑safety, waste/trash, landscaping, pest control, etc.), building a bench of reliable partners rather than relying on one-off calls.
• Vendor Relationship Management:
  Build strategic, long-term relationships with key vendors; negotiate service agreements and pricing; manage day-to-day vendor communication and…
