Director, Infrastructure Maintenance

Director of Infrastructure Maintenance

With three campuses along Colorado's Front Range, FRCC is the state's largest community college. We enroll close to 28,000 students annually from our diverse service area, which offers a variety of cultural and recreational activities.

Each year approximately 5,000 FRCC students transfer to four-year universities and FRCC offers more than 36 career training programs that prepare students for immediate employment and rewarding careers. Last year, more than 5,000 high school students took concurrent enrollment classes with us, earning college credit without having to pay college tuition. And we were recently ranked as one of the "Top Online Colleges" in the country by Newsweek.

One of FRCC's main goals is to offer educational excellence for everyone. The college's strong commitment to student success means we start by creating an inclusive and equitable environment—one where both students and employees feel they belong and are supported. FRCC's focus on diversity, equity and inclusion is woven into the fabric of our college conversations and decision-making processes. We are actively seeking to hire a workforce that reflects the diversity of our student body.

The college is also an emerging Hispanic Serving Institution. For us, becoming an HSI is an intentional commitment to being a college where our Latinx (and other historically marginalized) students thrive.

FRCC employees and leaders work hard to create a culture of collaboration, innovation and pride. We're looking to hire people who share these values—along with our commitment to student success, equity and excellence.

As the inaugural Director of Infrastructure and Maintenance, you will be the operational backbone of FRCC's Strategic Plan, "Forward, Together," providing strategic, operational, and technical leadership for Facilities Services across three campuses. You will direct day-to-day departmental functions, guide Assistant Directors and staff, and partner closely with the Associate Vice President of Facilities to shape long-term goals, priorities, and resource planning.

You will foster a culture of accountability, service excellence, and continuous improvement amongst a team who take pride in their part of student success.

In this role, you will lead regulatory compliance, environmental health, and safety programs across three campuses, driving proactive audits, hazardous materials management, and campus-wide risk mitigation. As a member of key institutional committees, including the Crisis Management Team, you contribute expertise and provide decisive leadership in emergency response and continuity planning.

In partnership with senior leadership, you advance multi-campus inspection programs and shape long-range facilities strategy, capital construction planning, and controlled maintenance prioritization to align infrastructure investments with institutional goals.

This is an essential, highly visible leadership role requiring consistent on-campus presence and regular travel across all campuses to effectively coordinate departmental needs, collaborate with stakeholders, and foster a supportive culture. You may be required to work onsite or remain on campus during delayed starts, early releases, or campus closures.
