About Branded Bills

Branded Bills is a fast-growing headwear and apparel brand based in Tempe, AZ. Our warehouse and fulfillment center is the engine behind our operation — and keeping that engine running is mission-critical. We're looking for a hands-on Maintenance Manager who takes pride in a safe, well-functioning facility and knows how to build preventive maintenance programs that actually prevent problems.

Position Overview

The Manager, Maintenance is responsible for the upkeep, safety, and operational reliability of our fulfillment facility. This role leads all maintenance activities — preventive, corrective, and emergency — and manages a small maintenance team alongside outside contractors and vendors. You'll be the go-to person when something breaks and the reason it doesn't break in the first place.

• Source, manage, and hold accountable third-party contractors and service vendors (HVAC, electrical, pest control, fire suppression, etc.)

• Review and approve vendor invoices and work orders; track maintenance spend against budget

• Partner with leadership to plan and schedule maintenance work that minimizes impact on fulfillment operations.

Safety & Compliance

• Ensure all maintenance activities comply with OSHA standards, local building codes, and company safety policies

• Conduct and document safety inspections; identify and correct hazards proactively

• Maintain up-to-date records for all required inspections, certifications, and regulatory compliance (fire systems, dock equipment, racking, etc.)

• Support and participate in safety committee meetings and initiatives

• Ensure proper handling, storage, and disposal of hazardous materials in accordance with applicable regulations

Capital Projects & Improvements

• Assess aging equipment and infrastructure; develop recommendations and business cases for capital repairs or replacements

• Manage small-to-mid-scale facility improvement projects from scoping through completion

• Coordinate with external contractors on build-outs, installations, or facility modifications

• Support space planning and facility expansion initiatives as the business grows
