Facilities Manager

Salary Range: $ To $ Annually

The Pegasus School seeks an experienced Facilities Manager to lead the care and operation of our 14-acre campus in Huntington Beach.

The Pegasus School seeks a skilled, thoughtful, and hands‑on facilities professional to oversee the daily operation, maintenance, and ongoing improvement of our campus. This is an opportunity for an experienced facilities leader to take meaningful ownership of a dynamic school environment, leading both employees and service partners while ensuring that our buildings and grounds are safe, functional, welcoming, and well cared for.

The Facilities Manager oversees a broad facilities operation that includes maintenance, custodial services, grounds, security support, building systems, event operations, preventive maintenance, repairs, and capital projects. The position directly supervises Pegasus facilities employees and manages a network of outside service providers, including custodial, landscaping, security, maintenance, and specialty contractors.

The Manager establishes priorities, directs staff and vendors, evaluates building and equipment needs, coordinates repairs and preventive maintenance, and helps plan and execute construction, renovation, and capital improvement projects. The role also works closely with School leadership on facilities planning, budgets, vendor selection, safety, and operational needs.
