Perform root-cause analysis on chronic issues and recommend repairs, replacements, and energy efficiency opportunities.
Directly supervise, train, and mentor two Facilities Technicians, including assigning work, setting schedules and coverage, and conducting reviews.
Serve as the facilities point of contact for tenant maintenance requests, ensuring lease compliance and maintaining the owner-occupied building to a high standard.
Manage the outsourced HVAC contractor and specialty vendors, including scope, quotes, renewals, and performance tracking, and verify work quality, licenses, insurance, and EPA 608 documentation.
Maintain accurate records for all buildings, including equipment inventories, warranties, O&M manuals, and maintenance history.
Enforce safe work practices, including lockout/tagout, PPE, and work at heights, and ensure required inspections and certifications are current and documented.
Support emergency planning and drills, and serve as first responder to after-hours emergencies as part of the on-call rotation.

Experience managing outsourced vendors and service contracts.
Working knowledge of commercial building systems (HVAC and refrigeration cycles, BAS, low-voltage controls, 480V electrical, plumbing, fire and life safety) sufficient to diagnose issues, direct vendors, and judge the quality of their work.
Ability to read and interpret MEP drawings, equipment schematics, and vendor service reports.
Strong diagnostic and troubleshooting skills, with the ability to find root cause and drive durable fixes.
Supervisory and leadership skills, including the ability to delegate, coach, and hold others accountable.
