The role combines formal leadership of the entire Infrastructure team with substantial hands-on technical and design contribution, serving as the accountable owner for safe, reliable, compliant, cost-effective, and employee-focused workplaces. This position develops and maintains space, office, production, distribution, and land-use concepts; leads renovations, expansions, consolidations, conversions, relocations, and workplace transformation initiatives; coordinates vendors, contractors, architects, and engineers; supports building systems and operational continuity; and translates business growth requirements into practical facility and workplace solutions. The manager personally develops or reviews AutoCAD and Building Information Modeling (BIM) layouts, models, test fits, and visualizations when needed and directs internal or external design resources when broader project demand or strategy requires. Based on organizational need and the selected candidate’s background, formal responsibility may expand to include the Maintenance Department. \nThis position includes formal people management responsibilities. These responsibilities include direct supervision of employees, performance management, talent development, resource allocation, employee engagement, and career development. People leaders are accountable for team performance, employee engagement, and career development. This role is intentionally structured as a working manager position that balances leadership, operational oversight, and strategic planning with direct facilities, space-planning, technical, and design contribution. \n Responsibilities \nLead and coordinate daily facilities and infrastructure operations across supported U.S. locations, maintaining safe, reliable, compliant, cost-effective,

requests. \nMonitor work-order performance, preventive-maintenance completion, service quality, asset reliability, downtime, customer concerns, energy usage, and other facilities KPIs; implement corrective actions and improvements. \nServe as a hands-on technical and design contributor by developing, updating, or reviewing floor plans, test fits, space layouts, equipment arrangements, and three-dimensional visualizations using AutoCAD, BIM, and related tools. \nDetermine and maintain space requirements and occupancy data; create office, production, laboratory, distribution, storage, and land-use concepts that support business growth, operational flow, safety, accessibility, hybrid-work considerations, and employee experience. \nLead occupancy planning, space-utilization analysis, workplace planning, furnishing, desk-sharing, moves, additions, and changes, including personnel, furniture, equipment, production, and distribution relocations. \nPrepare or coordinate project plans, scopes of work, design criteria, specifications, functional requirements, cost estimates, schedules, budgets, resource requirements, and technical documentation for renovations, expansions, consolidations, conversions, relocations, and construction projects. \nManage facilities projects and workplace transformation initiatives from concept through closeout, including feasibility, design coordination, permitting, procurement, risk management, contractor oversight, installation, commissioning, punch-list resolution, and turnover. \nSelect, engage, and manage architects, engineers, contractors, suppliers, furniture providers, and other service partners; monitor safety, quality, schedule, cost, performance, deliverables, and contractual compliance. \nMaintain accurate digital facilities records, including BIM models, CAD drawings, as-built documents, equipment and asset records, operations and maintenance manuals, construction files, warranties, and space data. \nUse facilities, space, financial, vendor, energy, and asset-lifecycle data to develop dashboards, KPIs, analyses, and recommendations that support informed decision-making and continuous improvement.

transactions in accordance with established financial controls, policies, and authorization limits. \nEnsure compliance with applicable OSHA, environmental, fire and life-safety, accessibility, building-code, permitting, and company requirements, and support inspections, audits, documentation, and corrective actions. \nDevelop and maintain facilities standards, multi-site governance, procedures, emergency plans, service expectations, and scalable operating practices aligned with U.S. and global direction. \nIdentify and implement opportunities to improve space utilization, facility reliability, energy efficiency, sustainability, process effectiveness, cost performance, risk control, employee experience, and service delivery. \nLead cross-functional change associated with workplace transformations, facility consolidations, office relocations, site expansions, and operational improvement initiatives. \nLead, coach, and develop employees through clear expectations, ongoing feedback, performance management, development planning, succession considerations, engagement, and knowledge sharing. \nAllocate work and resources across operational needs, planning activities, projects, and urgent events while maintaining appropriate coverage and business continuity. \nCommunicate plans, milestones, budget performance, trade-offs, risks, progress, and recommendations clearly to technical and nontechnical stakeholders and facilitate productive decision-making across functions and locations. \nQualifications \nBachelor’s degree in Facilities
