- Manage facility-related capital and expense projects, including scope, budget, schedule, contractor coordination, and quality oversight.
- Partner with internal and external project teams to support new construction, tenant improvements, equipment installs, and infrastructure upgrades.
- Lead commissioning and startup readiness activities for facility systems, utilities, and infrastructure supporting new and expanded operations.
- Develop and manage turnover plans, acceptance criteria, and readiness checklists to support smooth transition from project completion to operational ownership.
- Create and maintain handover package templates and document requirements for deliverables received from Construction and Design Engineering.
- Review, receive, and accept turnover documentation, including as-built drawings, O&M manuals, commissioning reports, training records, warranty documents, spare parts information, and asset data.
- Ensure punch-list items, deficiencies, and open issues are tracked to closure or transitioned clearly with ownership and action plans.
- Support CMMS readiness by ensuring asset information, preventive maintenance inputs, and equipment documentation are complete and usable.
- Develop and track KPIs related to facilities performance, maintenance execution, and project turnover quality.
- Maintain compliance with applicable environmental, health, safety, and regulatory requirements.
- Travel: Expected 30% of travel to support multiple sites across the US.
