We are a specialized facility procurement and management company serving government clients nationwide. We identify, secure, open, and manage facilities nationwide, providing customized solutions for each client and location.

Reporting directly to the Operations Manager, this role supports everything from researching potential properties and sourcing vendors to coordinating office setups and assisting with new site openings.

The ideal candidate is organized, resourceful, detail-oriented, and proactive, with a willingness to take ownership and follow tasks through to completion.
