  • Conduct regular team meetings, one-on-ones, performance feedback, development planning, and workload reviews in partnership with People Experience.
  • Build cross-site coverage plans, balance workload, and maintain continuity during absences, business events, incidents, and periods of rapid growth.
  • Create a culture of ownership, proactive communication, customer service, safety, and continuous improvement.

  • Lead day-to-day Facilities Operations across offices, engineering spaces, manufacturing environments, laboratories, hangars, warehouses, and secure or classified areas, as applicable.
  • Maintain safe, professional, operationally ready workplaces that support employee productivity and business continuity.
  • Coordinate preventive and corrective maintenance, work orders, building services, utilities, landlord obligations, and service-provider response.
  • Serve as the regional Facilities escalation point for outages, service failures, workplace issues, and operational risks.
  • Implement global and regional standards, standard operating procedures, service levels, and documentation practices across assigned locations.
  • Coordinate with landlords, property managers, technicians, vendors, and internal partners to resolve recurring issues and reduce operational disruption.

  • Escalate work that exceeds approved cost, risk, technical-complexity, or governance thresholds to Capital Delivery and Facilities Operations leadership.
  • Direct and coordinate regional vendors, contractors, landlord teams, technicians, and outsourced service providers.
  • Monitor service quality, responsiveness, safety, scope compliance, cost, and performance against approved contracts and service expectations.
  • Review invoices, track purchase orders and commitments, support monthly forecasts, and maintain accurate budget and project documentation.
  • Identify cost risks, service gaps, and opportunities to improve value without compromising safety, reliability, compliance, or employee experience.
  • Support sourcing, onboarding, renewals, and performance reviews in partnership with Procurement and the applicable Facilities Operations leader.
  • Partner with Global EH&S to implement workplace-safety, environmental, industrial-hygiene, contractor-safety, emergency-preparedness, and corrective-action requirements.

  • Escalate material safety, security, environmental, regulatory, service, and business-continuity risks promptly and clearly.
  • Coordinate with IT, People, Capital Delivery, Global Real Estate, Finance, Procurement, and business leadership as regional needs require.
  • Serve as the principal regional Facilities contact for site leaders, employees, and business partners.
  • Communicate planned outages, construction impacts, relocations, service changes, and restoration activities clearly and proactively.
  • Resolve recurring service issues, gather feedback, and balance customer needs with standards, risk, budget, and portfolio priorities.
  • Build trusted relationships with local leadership while maintaining consistent enterprise practices across sites.
  • Maintain accurate regional reporting for work orders, maintenance, vendors, budget, projects, incidents, risks, actions, and customer experience.
