Regional Asset Manager - MEP / Facilities (Manhattan)

Regional Asset Manager – MEP / Facilities

About the Opportunity

Boden Talent is partnering with our client, a global leader in commercial real estate and integrated facilities services, to recruit an experienced Regional Asset Manager to support a major global integrated account.

This role will take ownership of the governance, accuracy, and continuous improvement of MEP asset data across a multi-site regional portfolio. Working closely with regional engineering leadership, site teams, third-party service partners, project teams, and the end client, the Regional Asset Manager will ensure asset information provides a reliable foundation for maintenance strategy, lifecycle planning, capital investment, and compliance reporting.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who combines a strong understanding of MEP engineering and facilities asset management with expertise in data governance, CMMS platforms, lifecycle planning, and operational improvement.

What You'll Do

Asset Management & Data Governance

• Own and maintain the regional MEP asset register, ensuring information remains accurate, current, and accessible across the portfolio.
• Establish the asset register as a reliable single source of truth across the Common Data Environment (CDE), CMMS, and associated document management platforms.
• Conduct regional asset maturity assessments and develop standardized scorecards across countries, sites, and asset groups.
• Implement quality control processes to improve the accuracy, completeness, consistency, and timeliness of asset information.
• Ensure asset data follows agreed global standards covering naming conventions, asset hierarchies, templates, and O&M documentation.
• Identify gaps in asset information and coordinate remediation activities with engineering teams and third-party service providers.

Operational Integration

• Embed asset data management into day-to-day regional engineering and maintenance operations.
• Work with engineering leads and site teams to improve asset validation, condition assessments, maintenance history, and work order data.
• Drive adoption of asset management technology and mobile applications among field engineering teams.
• Ensure planned maintenance information within the CMMS is standardized, accurate, and capable of providing meaningful asset performance insights.
• Govern asset data handovers following capital projects, minor works, equipment replacements, and site changes.
• Support forward maintenance and engineering planning using asset condition and lifecycle information.

Capital & Lifecycle Planning

• Provide asset condition, age, criticality, and maintenance history data to support regional capital planning.
• Contribute to annual capital budget submissions and longer-term investment strategies.
• Develop regional asset insights including equipment age profiles, condition summaries, maintenance cost trends, and replacement forecasts.
• Identify critical, high-risk, and end-of-life MEP equipment requiring future investment.
• Provide engineering teams with data-driven recommendations to support short- and long-term capital planning.
• Maintain appropriate change-control processes to protect the lifecycle integrity of asset information.

Systems, Data & Reporting

• Support the regional asset management technology environment, including CMMS platforms, asset applications, Power BI dashboards, CDE platforms, and asset databases.
• Produce regular asset quality and performance reporting for regional leadership.
• Track data completeness, asset condition coverage, technology adoption, and outstanding remediation activities.
• Support SLA reporting and ensure regional data submissions are accurate, timely, and consistent.
• Participate in CMMS implementation, migration, and continuous improvement programs.
• Contribute to the development and testing of Power BI, Power Apps, Power Automate, and other digital asset management solutions.

Stakeholder Management

• Act as a regional subject matter expert for engineering asset management.
• Provide practical guidance to engineering teams, project managers, service partners, and other stakeholders regarding asset standards, processes, and technology.
• Build strong working relationships across a complex, multi-site and matrixed organization.
• Represent the asset management program in regional engineering and governance meetings.
• Support regional leadership with asset information for client reporting, engineering reviews, risk management, and governance forums.
• Collaborate with other regional and global Asset Managers to share best practices and improve consistency across the wider portfolio.

What You'll Need

• Minimum 5 years of relevant experience within FM engineering, technical operations, or asset management.
• Strong understanding of MEP engineering assets, including lifecycle management, condition assessment, maintenance strategies, and asset data governance.
• Experience managing asset information across multi-site or regional portfolios.
• Hands-on experience with CMMS platforms such as Maximo or equivalent, including planned maintenance, work orders, and asset data quality.
• Familiarity with Common Data Environments (CDE), BIM workflows, and technical document management systems.
• Experience improving asset data quality and driving consistent processes across engineering teams and third-party service providers.
• Understanding of capital planning and how asset condition, lifecycle, and maintenance information can support investment decisions.
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to identify data issues, determine root causes, and implement practical solutions.
• Strong stakeholder management skills and the ability to influence teams without direct line management responsibility.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office, with Power BI experience highly desirable.
• Experience with Power Apps, Power Automate, or similar low-code platforms would be advantageous.
• Understanding of SLA management and reporting within an FM environment would be beneficial.
• Experience supporting financial services, banking, critical environments, or similarly complex corporate real estate portfolios would be advantageous.
• Ability to travel regionally for site visits and stakeholder meetings when required.

Qualifications

• Degree in Engineering, Facilities Management, Asset Management, or a related discipline preferred, or an equivalent combination of education and relevant industry experience.
• IAM Certificate in Asset Management or equivalent qualification is desirable.
• Experience supporting a CMMS implementation, migration, or asset data improvement program would be advantageous.
• Good understanding of Health & Safety requirements within an FM engineering environment.
• NEBOSH or equivalent qualification is desirable.
• Membership of, or progress toward membership of, a relevant professional organization such as CIBSE, IAM, IET, or IMechE would be beneficial.

The Opportunity

This position offers the opportunity to take ownership of asset management standards across a significant regional portfolio, working at the intersection of engineering, data, technology, maintenance, and capital planning.

For an experienced asset management professional looking to influence how a complex portfolio manages its critical MEP infrastructure, this role provides significant exposure to regional and global stakeholders while helping shape a more data-driven approach to engineering and lifecycle management.
