Senior Manager, Facilities Infrastructure

Serve as the primary internal point of contact for all construction activity in the building — coordinate daily with the general contractor, sub-trades, and construction management on schedule, scope, access, and issue resolution

Partner with engineering on construction-to-operations handoff: punch lists, system commissioning, OEM acceptance testing, warranty tracking, and as-built documentation for HVAC, electrical distribution and substations, compressed air, fire/life safety, cranes, and building envelope

Sequence facility readiness against the production ramp so that utilities, environmental controls, and material-handling systems are operational before equipment installs and first parts

Build the site's foundational documentation set: drawings, equipment registers, maintenance plans, vendor lists, spares lists, contractor access procedures, and emergency response protocols

Stand up the CMMS at the site and load asset records, PM schedules, and procedures as equipment is commissioned

Build and lead a high-performing facilities and maintenance team at the site, including front-line supervisors and multi-shift technician headcount

Execute the multi-site maintenance strategy at the site level, including preventive maintenance, long-range asset planning, and reliability programs

Own site-level KPIs and accountability for uptime, response time, PM compliance, and time-to-close

Define headcount and budget plans for site facilities and maintenance functions

Instill a strong customer-service mindset toward Production and a culture of urgency, ownership, and continuous improvement

Hire, onboard, and develop the founding maintenance and facilities team

Own the performance and reliability of facility infrastructure: electrical substations and distribution, HVAC and process cooling, compressed air, water and waste, overhead cranes and hoists, dock equipment, building automation, and the building envelope

Drive uptime across complex production equipment — welding cells, sheet metal forming and cutting, assembly lines, CNC machine tools, and supporting automation

Lead troubleshooting and escalation of critical infrastructure or equipment failures to minimize downtime

Ensure all assets meet performance, safety, and inspection standards before being placed or returned to service

Establish and run building inspection routines (electrical, mechanical, structural, fire/life safety) at the cadence appropriate to a >1M sqft industrial facility

Implement and standardize preventive maintenance programs across all site assets using real-time data from the CMMS

Monitor asset performance, schedule maintenance, and analyze trends to surface predictive maintenance opportunities

Partner with Production and Workforce Development to standardize common maintenance and error-response activities and embed them in the production technician workflow

Own site-level communication and escalation protocols for equipment and facility downtime

Run structured communication cadences at the site: daily check-ins with production, weekly maintenance status reviews, and monthly KPI reporting to site and functional leadership

Lead root cause analysis on critical or recurring failures and ensure corrective actions are implemented on the floor

Continuously analyze downtime data to drive process and equipment improvements

Collaborate closely with Production, Engineering, and Quality to align maintenance priorities with operational needs

Build relationships with service providers and OEMs to reduce response times and parts lead times for the site

Manage site-level service contracts, SLAs, and on-site response standards

Own contractor management on an active site: access, badging, lockout/tagout coordination, safety briefings, hot-work permits, and confined-space coordination

Build and manage spare parts strategy and inventory for both production and facility-critical systems

Contribute to capital planning for the site, including asset lifecycle, upgrades, tooling needs, and major infrastructure projects

Ensure all facility and maintenance activities meet aerospace, environmental, and life-safety regulatory requirements (OSHA, NFPA, EPA, applicable building and fire codes)

Maintain compliance with regulated systems: pressure vessels, lifting equipment, electrical, refrigerants, and environmental permits

Own safety outcomes and audit readiness for facility and maintenance-related activities at the site

Enforce lockout/tagout, energized work, working-at-heights, crane and rigging, hot-work, and confined-space procedures

Identify and implement process improvements that improve uptime, reduce cost, and improve safety

10+ years of facilities or maintenance experience in industrial manufacturing, with at least 5 years in a site or multi-site leadership role

Experience operating or commissioning a facility of 500K sqft or larger with mixed production and complex utility infrastructure

Direct experience with HVAC, compressed air, electrical distribution including medium-voltage substations, overhead cranes, and building automation systems

Demonstrated experience as the operations-side counterpart to a general contractor on a new build or major expansion — punch lists, commissioning, turnover, warranty

Track record of scaling high-performing technical teams in a fast-paced, high-accountability environment

Working knowledge of CMMS platforms and maintenance workflows

Experience in highly regulated industries such as aerospace, defense, or medical devices

Strong problem-solving, organizational, and communication skills — comfortable working with executives, contractors, and front-line technicians in the same week

Bachelor's degree in engineering, industrial maintenance, construction management, or a related technical field, or equivalent experience
