Position Summary:
The Facilities Specialist is a senior-level dispatch role responsible for stabilizing store performance following refresh, construction, and major equipment installations across a large, multi-state retail portfolio. This position manages high-impact service issues with a focus on revenue-critical equipment, chronic repair resolution, vendor performance, and post-construction readiness to ensure safe, reliable, and fully operational store environments.

7. Validate asset setup, warranty coverage, and vendor assignments in CMMS systems to ensure accurate service and billing processes
8. Monitor vendor performance, enforce accountability, and escalate service quality or response issues as needed
9. Support uptime and performance of key foodservice and beverage programs through proactive coordination and follow-up
10. Maintain detailed case tracking and documentation for escalated issues, post-construction stores, and recurring failures
11. Identify trends in repeat repairs or systemic failures and provide recommendations for corrective action and process improvement
12. Collaborate with leadership, construction, planned services, and field teams to improve service delivery, reduce repeat issues, and enhance overall store reliability
