The Facilities, Maintenance, and Security Operations organization (FMSO) is responsible for the end-to-end lifecycle of our facilities — from real estate strategy and acquisition through design, construction, operations, maintenance, and physical security.

As a Project Implementation Manager, you will play a critical role in expanding and optimizing Blue Origin's real estate footprint. Reporting to the Real Estate Program and Planning Principal, you will serve as the central point of coordination for all resources and activities involved in real property transactions — partnering closely with Engineering, Construction, Operations, Legal, and third‑party consultants to guide sites from initial due diligence through lease execution and occupancy.

A core focus of this role is developing and managing robust project schedules, as well as inspecting, approving, and coordinating sign‑off on Landlord's Work and real property commissioning activities to ensure spaces are fully ready for Blue Origin acceptance and occupancy.
