• Hold vendors accountable for quality, timelines, and performance expectations
• Reduce dependency on general contractors through direct vendor oversight and coordination

Financial Oversight

• Develop and manage facility and capital project budgets
• Oversee purchasing and procurement processes
• Track expenses and identify cost-saving opportunities

Compliance & Documentation

• Ensure facilities and projects remain compliant with regulatory requirements
• Maintain accurate facility records, permits, and project documentation
• Support audits, inspections, and compliance reviews

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Facilities Management, Engineering, or related field preferred (equivalent experience considered)
• 5–10+ years of facilities management and construction project management experience
• Experience overseeing multi-site, multi-state operations preferred
• Strong budgeting, vendor negotiation, and project leadership skills
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and drive projects to completion
• Strong communication, organization, and problem-solving abilities
• Frequent travel Required

Why Join Us?

• Opportunity to make a meaningful impact in a growing behavioral health organization
• Collaborative, mission-driven leadership team
• Ability to lead and shape facility operations and projects across multiple sites
• Fast-paced environment with autonomy and ownership
