  • Ensure Facilities operations comply with applicable local, state, federal, safety, and security requirements.

Requirements:
  • 10+ years of facilities management experience, including responsibility for complex, multi-site operating environments
  • Demonstrated experience managing construction, renovation, infrastructure, or real-estate projects, including secure and classified facilities
