• Partner with procurement and storeroom personnel to ensure required parts, tools, equipment, and services are available before work begins.
• Monitor backlog, schedule compliance, preventive-maintenance completion, work-order aging, labor utilization, and maintenance KPIs.
• Adjust schedules for emergency repairs and changing operational priorities while minimizing disruption to occupants and business operations.
• Maintain accurate records for work performed asset history, inspections, permits, warranties, and contractor documentation.

• 3+ years of experience in facilities maintenance, maintenance planning, scheduling, building operations, construction coordination, or a related role.
• Practical experience using a CMMS, such as Maximo, Corrigo, or similar software.

• Ability to interpret work orders, technical manuals, blueprints, equipment documentation, and basic project schedules.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Excel, Outlook, Word, and scheduling or reporting tools.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills with the ability to coordinate across technicians, vendors, managers, and building occupants.

Preferred qualifications:

• Associate’s or bachelor’s degree in facilities management, construction management, engineering, business, or a related field.
• Certified Maintenance & Reliability Professional (CMRP), Certified Facility Manager (CFM), Facilities Management Professional (FMP), or similar certification.
• Experience working in a regulated, critical, campus, healthcare, manufacturing, government, education, or multi-site environment.
• Familiarity with preventive-maintenance strategies, asset management, inventory control, contractor management, and basic budgeting.
• Hands-on experience with project-management tools or specialized scheduling platforms.

Core Competencies:

• Coordinating schedules, workflows, and resource allocation while managing CMMS work orders and preventive maintenance to maximize asset reliability.
• Coordinating external contractors and delivering high-quality customer service through proactive stakeholder communication.
• Analyzing operational data and tracking KPIs to drive performance while ensuring strict adherence to safety regulations and compliance standards.

Work Conditions:

• Split between the office and active physical sites (mechanical rooms, rooftops, construction zones), requiring safety awareness and occasional after-hours or emergency responsiveness.
• Accountable for reducing work-order backlogs, delivering maintenance on time, and ensuring highly accurate estimates for labor, materials, and job duration.
