Facilities Maintenance Manager

Help Maintain and Improve the Facilities Our Community Relies On

A growing local municipality is seeking an experienced Facilities & Maintenance Manager to help lead the operation, maintenance, repair, and long-term improvement of a diverse portfolio of public buildings and facilities.
