Our lean, world-class team of engineers and operators is applying a first-principles approach to solving the problem of nuclear fuel production.\nWe are a mission-driven company with a culture of urgency, accountability, and transparency.\nHelp us build a high-energy society by making the cleanest, safest form of baseload energy the most affordable.\nAbout This Role\nAs Facility Manager at General Matter, reporting to the Site Manager, you'll build and lead the facilities function for a roughly 87-acre industrial site in Paducah, Kentucky, that we're bringing back into service for nuclear-industry process piping and steel fabrication. The site has several manufacturing buildings plus support buildings for offices, storage, utilities and shop services. Much of its infrastructure needs to be assessed, restored and recommissioned before production can start.\nMost facilities managers inherit a running plant and keep it running. This role is different: it's a start-up. You'll restore legacy power, water, compressed air, natural gas, HVAC and fire protection systems, and sequence the work so each building is ready before production or occupancy arrives. You'll also build a facilities team of about 15 people from the ground up and decide with site leadership which services stay in-house and which are contracted. Your decisions on utility capacity and building readiness will directly set how fast the site can deliver the hardware behind America's new enrichment capacity.\nIf you seek high impact and are excited by fast-paced, intense, Skunkworks-style projects, we encourage you to apply to join our team.\nResponsibilities\nInfrastructure Restoration & Capital Projects\nAssess and restore legacy power distribution, water, compressed air, natural gas, HVAC, fire protection and building envelope across every manufacturing and support building; build and execute the infrastructure restoration plan.\nPlan and manage facility capital projects and renovations, including the office building build-out: scope work, select and manage contractors, control budget and schedule, and close out projects.\nSequence work across buildings so each is ready ahead of its production or occupancy date.\nUtilities, Grounds & Site Services\nManage utility service, metering and energy use, and coordinate with providers on capacity for production equipment, welding power and cranes.\nMaintain roads, rail and truck access, laydown and storage yards, drainage, snow removal and the site perimeter across the property.\nRun custodial, waste and recycling, pest control and space services across all manufacturing and support buildings.\nCompliance & Nuclear Readiness\nKeep fire protection, egress, emergency lighting and pressure systems inspected and compliant; work with EHS on permits, environmental requirements and emergency response.\nSupport site readiness for a nuclear quality and safety program (10 CFR Part 70), including controlled changes to facilities and the records that go with them.\nTeam, Budget & Systems\nRecruit and develop facilities technicians and utilities, grounds and custodial staff; make in-house vs. contracted service recommendations.\nSet up the facilities preventive maintenance and work order process in the site's maintenance management system, working closely with Maintenance on shared assets.\nBuild and manage the facilities operating budget and service contracts; track KPIs on cost, work order backlog and response time.\nBasic Qualifications\nEvidence of exceptional ability (prior projects, portfolio of work, completed products, etc.).\nStrong understanding of engineering fundamentals.\nAbility to perform trade studies and make clear recommendations using first principles and engineering fundamentals, even with partial information.\nBachelor's degree in engineering, construction management, facilities management or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.\n8+ years in facilities management for industrial or manufacturing sites, including 3+ years leading facilities teams and contractors.\nHands-on knowledge of industrial electrical distribution, HVAC, compressed air, water/wastewater and fire protection systems.\nExperience restoring, renovating or recommissioning older industrial buildings or bringing a facility back into service.\nProven ability to manage capital projects and contractors: scope, bids, budget, schedule and closeout.\nWorking knowledge of OSHA, NFPA and local building and fire code requirements.\nExperience with a computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) for work orders and PMs.\nMust be a U.S. person, as this role requires regular access to export-controlled environments, and able to obtain and maintain the site access authorization required for the role.\nAbility to travel up to approximately 25%, including to other company sites, suppliers and vendors, and to respond to after-hours facility emergencies.\nAble to regularly walk multiple large buildings, roofs, utility spaces and grounds in all weather, wearing required PPE and climbing ladders, with or without reasonable accommodation.\nAbility to work extended hours and weekends as necessary.\nThis position is based onsite in Paducah, Kentucky.\nPreferred Skills and Experience\nExperience in a fast-paced engineering or highly technical environment, with a resourceful approach to delivering under tight timelines or budget constraints.\nExperience standing up a new facilities organization or opening a new or restarted site.\nFacilities experience in a nuclear, defense, chemical or other highly regulated industrial setting.\nProfessional certification such as CFM, FMP or a PE license.\nExperience running multi-building campuses, rail-served sites or heavy-industry yards.\nEnergy management or utility-cost reduction experience.\nEqual Opportunity Employer\nGeneral Matter is an Equal Opportunity Employer;
