• Conduct facility inspections and ensure compliance with local, state, and federal regulations, maintaining high standards of quality assurance.
• Identify opportunities for operational improvements, repairs, and upgrades, and implement solutions that enhance efficiency and performance.
• Develop and enforce environmental health and safety procedures tailored to each facility's needs.
• Build and maintain vendor relationships, oversee invoicing processes, and review and approve purchase orders for parts, services, and labor.
• Apply broad business and technical knowledge to align facilities operations with departmental goals and cross-functional initiatives.
• Provide formal supervision to staff, including performance evaluations, coaching, training, and development planning.
• Manage daily team operations by setting work schedules, assigning tasks, cross-training staff, and tracking departmental deadlines.
• Serve as a mentor and role model, promoting CBRE's RISE values and influencing others through leadership and collaboration.
• Solve complex technical and operational challenges with a strategic and solutions-oriented mindset.
• Recognize and address the broader impact of decisions across the department, driving continuous improvement in methods, processes, and standards.

What You'll Need:

• Bachelor's degree preferred with 5-8 years of relevant experience; a combination of education and experience will be considered in lieu of a degree.
• Facility Management certification (e.g., IFMA, BOMA) is preferred.
• Proven experience in budget management, including accruals, deferrals, and variance reporting.
• Demonstrated success in staffing, training, development, coaching, performance management, and retention strategies.
• Strong ability to communicate complex and sensitive information clearly and effectively, while setting expectations and resolving challenges.
• Proven leadership skills with the ability to inspire teams and align operational goals across roles and functions.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite, including Word, Excel, Outlook, and other related applications.
• Excellent organizational skills and a proactive, curious mindset.
