Facilities Manager

Slip Robotics is a B2B Robotics-as-a-Service company deploying autonomous loading and unloading robots at warehouse and fulfillment sites across North America. Our headquarters is a multi-building campus in Norcross, Georgia — where our robots are designed, built, tested, and shipped. We're scaling fast, and the pace of the business depends on the buildings running. The Role: We are hiring a Facilities Manager to own the day-to-day operation of our six co-located facilities in Norcross, GA. This is a hands‑on role. When a light goes out, you change it. When a door sticks, you fix it. When the HVAC throws a fault, you troubleshoot it first and call the vendor when it’s beyond the bench. You are the person everyone at Slip counts on to keep the buildings working — quietly, reliably, and without drama. If you take pride in a well‑run facility, you like variety in your day, and you’d rather be on your feet than behind a desk, this is your kind of job. The buildings. Six facilities, all co‑located in Norcross. Lighting, HVAC, plumbing, electrical (non‑production), doors, loading docks, roofs, and everything in between. You walk the floors regularly and you know the state of each building at any given time. Day‑to‑day maintenance. The work that keeps a building running: bulb changes, filter swaps, minor plumbing and electrical repairs, carpentry fixes, furniture moves, signage, paint touch‑ups. If it can be done with a good tool bag and a step ladder, you do it yourself. Vendor management. Janitorial, pest control, landscaping, HVAC service, fire and life safety inspections, pressure washing, roof repairs. You schedule them, walk them through the work, check their output, and hold them accountable. Preventive maintenance. You build and keep the PM schedule for building systems — filters, inspections, service intervals — so small issues don’t become shutdowns. Safety and compliance. Fire extinguishers charged, exit signs lit, emergency lighting tested, OSHA signage current, eyewash stations stocked, first aid kits refreshed. You own the checklist. Access and security. Keys, badges, locks, camera coverage, and access control. You’re the person people call when they’re locked out at 7 a.m. Space and layout support. As we add people and reconfigure, you help plan, coordinate the moves, and manage the vendors who execute them. Work order intake. You are the one front door for every facility request in the company. You triage, prioritize, and close the loop. Budget stewardship. You manage the facilities budget responsibly — you know what things should cost, you push back on vendor overreach, and you plan ahead for the big‑ticket items. 5+ years in facilities, building maintenance, or a skilled trade with progressive responsibility. Experience running a multi‑building site is strongly preferred. Hands‑on trade skills across the basics. You can do non‑licensed electrical, plumbing, carpentry, and basic HVAC troubleshooting yourself. You know when a job crosses the line into licensed‑trade territory and you call the right vendor. Vendor management experience. You’ve hired, managed, and fired service vendors. You know a fair price from a padded one. Self‑directed and organized. You don’t need daily direction. You keep your own schedule, manage your own work order queue, and communicate proactively. Calm under pressure. A flooded bathroom, a blown transformer, a broken dock door — these are Tuesday. You handle them. Strong communicator. You work with everyone from the shop floor to the executive team. You write clear updates and you answer the radio. Safety‑first mindset. You model the behavior you expect from vendors and contractors. Physically capable. Comfortable lifting up to 50 lbs, climbing ladders, and being on your feet for most of the day. Reliable, with flexibility for occasional after‑hours calls when the buildings need you. Nice to have: Trade certifications (EPA 608 for HVAC, electrical journeyman, plumbing, etc.) OSHA 10 or OSHA 30 Experience managing facilities in a manufacturing or industrial setting Experience supporting a space build‑out or relocation Working knowledge of building automation systems, access control platforms, or CMMS work order software Location: On‑site at our Norcross, GA campus. This is not a remote or hybrid role — the buildings are here. Reports to: Chief Operations Officer Schedule: Standard business hours, with occasional after‑hours response for building emergencies. Compensation: Competitive salary, benefits, and equity. Slip Robotics is an equal opportunity employer. We evaluate candidates on the merits of their experience and their fit for the role. We welcome applicants from every background. #J-18808-Ljbffr Slip Robotics
