The role oversees building maintenance, custodial, and security personnel while coordinating key functions related to environmental safety and procurement of goods and services essential to effective facility management.

In addition to facilities and safety management, the Director is tasked with procurement duties, establishing and maintaining vendor relationships, negotiating contracts, and managing budgets for building and security-related expenditures. The Director is a hands-on leader who supervises facility maintenance teams and security staff, conducts performance evaluations, and provides necessary training to ensure high standards are continuously met. The position demands multitasking ability, attention to detail, proficiency with technology tools such as Microsoft Office Suite and facility management systems, a reliable vehicle, and willingness to travel and work irregular hours as needed.
