Director of Plant Operations - Luxury Senior Living Community

Description

The Variel at Woodland Hills | Luxury Senior Living Community

Salary: Competitive Based on Experience + Bonus Opportunity + Comprehensive Benefits

Lead the Team. Protect the Asset. Deliver an Exceptional Environment.

The Variel at Woodland Hills is seeking an experienced Director of Plant Operations to lead facilities, maintenance, housekeeping, and janitorial operations for our flagship 350‑unit luxury senior living community.

Opened in 2021, The Variel is a large, sophisticated senior living environment offering Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care. With extensive resident apartments, common areas, amenities, building systems, and operational spaces, maintaining the community requires an experienced leader who understands both the technical side of building operations and the service expectations of a luxury residential environment.

We are looking for a hands‑on leader who takes ownership of the physical environment, develops strong teams, anticipates problems before they become emergencies, and takes pride in maintaining a community at an exceptional standard.

If you are an experienced facilities leader who understands that great plant operations are about much more than fixing things—they are about safety, reliability, presentation, resident satisfaction, and protecting a significant physical asset, we would love to meet you.

We believe the later chapters of life deserve to be lived with purpose, comfort, and connection. The Variel is a modern senior living community in the heart of Woodland Hills, built on a simple conviction: exceptional senior living should offer the same warmth, quality, and attention to detail found in a luxury hotel.

Our residents are more than customers; they are our neighbors, friends, and community. Every interaction, experience, and detail matters—from the care we provide to the appearance of our building and the way we welcome residents and their families each day.

At The Variel, we value genuine hospitality, teamwork, compassion, and accountability. We treat each other the way we wish to be treated in return, and we are committed to creating an environment where our residents and our team members can thrive.

Set at 6233 Variel Avenue in the Warner Center district of Woodland Hills
, The Variel offers a vibrant setting surrounded by shopping, dining, entertainment, and the best of the West San Fernando Valley.

With Westfield Topanga, local farmers markets, parks, and everyday conveniences just minutes away, our community provides residents with a comfortable and connected lifestyle. Designed with modern living in mind, The Variel combines thoughtful amenities, inviting spaces, and exceptional service to create an environment that feels welcoming, sophisticated, and distinctly like home.

The Director of Plant Operations is responsible for the overall leadership and management of The Variel's physical plant and environmental services operations.

This position oversees maintenance, housekeeping, and janitorial services and is accountable for preventive maintenance, building systems, life safety, emergency preparedness, resident service requests, vendor management, regulatory compliance, department staffing, budget performance, and the overall cleanliness and physical presentation of the community.

The Director works closely with the Executive Director and community leadership team to ensure the building is safe, reliable, well‑maintained, and consistently presented at the standard expected of a premier luxury senior living community.

The ideal candidate is a visible, hands‑on leader who can manage a complex physical plant, develop and hold teams accountable, build strong vendor relationships,…
