• Sustainability Initiatives: Design and implement energy-efficient systems, including renewable energy sources, lighting upgrades, and water-saving measures, in line with sustainability goals.

2. Facility Operations Management

• Maintenance Oversight: Manage and coordinate regular preventive maintenance schedules for HVAC systems, electrical equipment, plumbing, and fire safety systems to ensure smooth and safe operations.
• Equipment Performance: Monitor the performance of critical facility systems (e.g., boilers, air conditioning, generators) and ensure they operate optimally, troubleshooting issues when necessary.
• Troubleshooting: Identify and resolve technical issues in the facility's infrastructure, such as electrical failures, HVAC problems, or plumbing issues. Ensure quick and effective solutions to avoid downtime.
• Safety Compliance: Ensure that all systems and equipment are in compliance with local safety standards and regulations, including fire codes, OSHA requirements, and environmental regulations.

3. Project Management

• Facility Upgrades and Renovations: Oversee and manage renovation or upgrade projects to improve existing infrastructure, whether it’s upgrading electrical systems, remodeling office spaces, or installing new security systems.
• Budget Management: Develop and manage budgets for facility maintenance and improvement projects, ensuring that all expenditures are in line with company guidelines and financial targets.
• Contractor Coordination: Supervise contractors and vendors involved in facility-related projects. Ensure that external contractors perform work according to specifications, timelines, and safety standards.
