Who We Are Looking ForAs we build toward operations in 2027 and 2028, we are beginning to meet with individuals who may be interested in joining Phoenix Tailings. We encourage interested candidates to apply, learn more about what we are building, and stay connected as we develop our facility.
Phoenix Tailings is looking for an experienced facilities leader interested in a future Facilities Manager opportunity at our Rochester Freedom Facility.
The Facilities Manager will build and lead the systems that keep the building and site infrastructure safe, reliable, and ready for continuous production. This person will own building services, preventive maintenance, contractor coordination, and facility improvements as Rochester transitions from construction into operations.
This is an opportunity to establish facilities management practices at a new industrial site and prepare the infrastructure that production depends on. The role is expected to provide primarily day support as the operating model develops.
Key Responsibilities:- Own site facilities operations for HVAC, ventilation, utilities, fire protection, and building systems, establishing service standards and priorities that support safe, reliable production
- Build and manage preventive and corrective maintenance programs, inspection schedules, and service records, tracking building-system deficiencies and repairs through completion
- Manage facilities contractors, vendor agreements, maintenance supplies, and service budgets, defining work scopes and monitoring cost, safety, and completion against site needs
- Lead building-system turnover from construction into operations and plan facility improvements, coordinating commissioning records, contractor access, required approvals, and work that affects production readiness
- Direct the response to utility and building-system disruptions, coordinate repairs with site operations and EHS, and implement improvements that reduce recurring failures and operational interruptions
Qualifications:- Bachelor's degree in Facilities Management, Engineering, Construction Management, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience managing industrial facilities
- Facilities management experience in manufacturing, chemical processing, or a related industrial environment, including ownership of maintenance programs, contractor performance, service contracts, and budgets
- Strong working knowledge of HVAC, ventilation, plumbing, utilities, fire protection, and building-system maintenance, with familiarity with applicable building codes, inspections, and permitting processes
- Experience establishing facilities procedures and maintenance records, coordinating building upgrades or construction turnover, and prioritizing repairs and improvements that affect safety and operational readiness
