+ Conduct facility inspections and ensure compliance with local, state, and federal regulations, maintaining high standards of quality assurance.

+ Identify opportunities for operational improvements, repairs, and upgrades, and implement solutions that enhance efficiency and performance.

+ Develop and enforce environmental health and safety procedures tailored to each facility’s needs.

+ Build and maintain vendor relationships, oversee invoicing processes, and review and approve purchase orders for parts, services, and labor.

+ Apply broad business and technical knowledge to align facilities operations with departmental goals and cross-functional initiatives.

+ Provide formal supervision to staff, including performance evaluations, coaching, training, and development planning.

+ Manage daily team operations by setting work schedules, assigning tasks, cross-training staff, and tracking departmental deadlines.

+ Serve as a mentor and role model, promoting CBRE’s RISE values and influencing others through leadership and collaboration.

+ Solve complex technical and operational challenges with a strategic and solutions-oriented mindset.

+ Recognize and address the broader impact of decisions across the department, driving continuous improvement in methods, processes, and standards.

What You’ll Need:

+ Bachelor’s degree preferred with 5–8 years of relevant experience; a combination of education and experience will be considered in lieu of a degree.

+ Valid driver’s license may be required.
