Facility Lead Technician

Job Description

Job Description

We're a growing property management company looking for a technically strong facilities professional to serve as the on-site lead for a commercial property in Pensacola. You'll work closely with the Regional Property Manager and have the backing of an experienced operations team — but the day-to-day condition of the building is in your hands. The work is detailed, process-driven, and consequential.

The role

You'll own the technical operation of the property across all major systems — HVAC, electrical, plumbing, fire/life safety, and building envelope. That means running a documented preventive maintenance program, managing service contracts, coordinating licensed contractors, and serving as the primary on-call contact for after-hours building emergencies. You'll also maintain equipment logs, close work orders, and produce monthly maintenance reports for ownership.

This is a hands-on, heads-down role. The expectation is that you know this property — its systems, its history, and its needs — better than anyone.

What we're looking for

• Technical depth | 5+ years in commercial facilities or a related technical operations role. Working knowledge of HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and fire/life safety systems. EPA 608 Universal preferred.
• Process orientation | You document your work, maintain accurate records, and build systems that prevent recurring problems. Experience with work order or property management software is a plus.
• Vendor management | Experience scoping work, reviewing contractor bids, verifying COIs and licensing, and holding vendors to the agreed scope.
• Clear communication |   You can explain a technical issue plainly to a property manager or tenant, and you write service reports that actually tell the story.
• Reliability |   Tenants and ownership count on you to show up, follow through, and be straight about what you find — including when the answer isn't what anyone wants to hear.

Year-one benchmarks

– Preventive maintenance program is documented and running on schedule

– All vendor contracts are organized, evaluated, and performing

– Deferred maintenance and capital items are inventoried and prioritized

– The property management team relies on your reports and trusts your judgment

Clean driving record required. Must pass background check and drug screen. OSHA 10 and working knowledge of ADA requirements desirable.
