Description:
Are you looking for an opportunity to bring strong facilities leadership together with purpose-driven service?
Springs Rescue Mission is a faith-based nonprofit organization serving people with compassion, dignity, and hope. We are seeking a Director of Facilities and help steward a large, multi-building campus that supports our mission every day.
This is a unique leadership opportunity for someone who understands that facilities work in a ministry environment is more than maintenance—it is an essential part of creating safe, welcoming, and mission-ready spaces for guests, staff, volunteers, and community partners.
In this role, you will lead the facilities function, supervise a small team, and thoughtfully leverage resources such as volunteers, vendors, and cross-functional partners to ensure the work gets done. You will also train and equip others in facilities-related duties while modeling servant leadership, wise stewardship, and care for the people who depend on this campus.
The ideal candidate will bring both technical facilities experience and a heart for ministry as well as being a leader. They will be resourceful, hands-on, collaborative, and comfortable working in a faith-centered environment where mission, service, and operational excellence come together. If that sounds like you, we invite you to consider joining our story.
SUMMARY OF POSITION:
Springs Rescue Mission considers every position one of ministry and a vital and valued part of our team. Therefore, it is essential that all employees of SRM have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and subscribe to our Statement of Faith and Core Values. The Director of Facilities is responsible for overseeing the planning, maintenance, and daily operations of SRM’s facilities and infrastructure. This role ensures a safe, efficient, and compliant environment by managing building systems, coordinating maintenance, and optimizing resource allocation. Working closely with leadership, the Director of Facilities develops strategic policies, implements cost-effective solutions, and drives sustainability initiatives to enhance operational performance and long-term facility management. The Director of Facilities ensures Springs Rescue Mission’s physical environments are safe, reliable, compliant, and well stewarded so the mission can operate with dignity, consistency, and trust. This role owns the condition, sustainability, and long-term reliability of SRM’s buildings, infrastructure, and physical systems. As a shared-service leader for the organization, the Director of Facilities balances responsiveness to a 24/7 campus with disciplined stewardship of resources, capital, and risk. This role does not manage guest behavior or campus flow. Instead, it ensures the physical systems supporting that work function predictably today and sustainably over time. This position requires senior-level judgment, systems thinking, and the ability to lead through competing priorities in a mission-critical, always-on environment.
