• Manage building systems, preventative maintenance programs, and operational improvements.
• Partner with union trades and contractors to support construction, renovation, and infrastructure projects.
• Develop and monitor budgets, operational metrics, and departmental performance goals.

This is more than facilities management - it's an opportunity to create safe, reliable environments that directly support patient care, employee experience, and community health. You'll lead a critical operation, work alongside dedicated professionals, and help shape the future of healthcare facilities management.
