We’re looking for aHead of Facilitiesto take ownership of everything that keeps our building, equipment, and shop running safely and efficiently. This is a hands‑on leadership role for someone who understands manufacturing environments, knows how to prevent problems before they happen, and isn’t afraid to roll up their sleeves when something needs fixing. With 5+ years of experience in facilities, maintenance, or a similar manufacturing environment, you’ll oversee building operations, production equipment, safety and compliance, vendors, fleet, and facilities projects. You’ll lead a two‑person facilities team while serving as the primary point of contact for our landlord, contractors, service providers, and internal teams.

That includes safety programs, training, inspections, emergency preparedness, and continuous improvement. The right person is proactive, organized, resourceful, and an excellent communicator. You’re comfortable managing projects, budgets, vendors, and documentation, and you know how to balance long‑term planning with the inevitable “something just broke” moments. You bring structure without slowing things down, and you’re equally comfortable leading a team, solving a problem yourself, or mentoring someone through it. Our shop is fast‑paced, collaborative, and constantly changing. No two days are exactly alike, and that’s part of the fun.
