  • Troubleshoot and coordinate repairs involving HVAC, electrical, plumbing, chillers, water, sewer, and other building systems.
  • Manage outside contractors, service providers, and vendors, including obtaining bids and overseeing work to completion.
  • Evaluate building maintenance needs and prioritize repairs and capital improvements.
  • Assist with developing and managing maintenance and operating budgets.
  • Review vendor proposals and bids to ensure quality work at competitive costs.
  • Respond to building emergencies and system failures, including occasional after-hours situations.
  • Maintain compliance with applicable safety, building, and operating standards.

Requirements:

  • Significant experience in commercial building engineering, facilities, or property maintenance
  • Strong knowledge of commercial HVAC, electrical, plumbing, chillers, and general building systems

  • Experience overseeing office buildouts, renovations, or tenant improvement projects is highly preferred
  • Leadership experience and the ability to effectively manage maintenance personnel
