This role is on-site at both Seattle locations, with occasional international travel (approximately 10%, typically 2-4 trips per year).
What You Will Do:
Lead, coach, and develop a team of three: a Facilities Engineer and two Facilities Coordinators. You'll set priorities, goals, performance expectations, and give each person a clear path to grow
Build team processes, service levels, and workflows so that requests, maintenance, and projects are handled consistently and transparently

Oversee building systems and infrastructure, including HVAC, electrical, plumbing, compressed air, and life safety systems. Implement and run a preventive maintenance program through a maintenance management system (CMMS)
Partner with the Facilities Engineer to make sure facility infrastructure meets the needs of manufacturing and lab operations, such as power quality, environmental controls, and CDA (clean dry air) equipment
Manage relationships with landlords and property managers, ensuring lease obligations are met
Oversee physical security and access controls, emergency preparedness, and business continuity planning for all sites
Own the facilities operating and capital budgets, including forecasting, tracking, and reporting on repairs, maintenance, and capital improvements

Lead facilities projects from planning through completion, such as buildouts, moves, equipment installations, and capital upgrades, on time and within budget
Plan and manage space allocation across office, lab, and manufacturing areas to meet current needs and future growth
Set facilities standards across international locations. Partner with local site leads and vendors in San Diego, Brazil, Finland, and Asia to make sure each site meets local regulations and company expectations
What You Will Bring:
Bachelor's degree in Facilities Management, Engineering, Business Administration, or a related field, or equivalent experience
8+ years of facilities management experience, including 3+ years directly managing a team
Experience managing facilities that include light manufacturing, lab, or hardware production environments, not only office space

Strong knowledge of building systems (HVAC, electrical, plumbing, compressed dry air, fire/life safety)
Proven experience owning and managing a facilities budget
