Established in 1902, Pinelawn Memorial Park and Arboretum spans hundreds of acres across multiple divisions in Farmingdale, New York. We are one of Long Island’s largest and most respected memorial parks — a place where families find comfort, beauty, and care during life’s most difficult moments. Our grounds and facilities are maintained to the highest standard, because for the families we serve, every detail matters.
We are seeking an experienced, detail-oriented Facilities Supervisor to take ownership of building maintenance and facility operations across our campus. This is a working supervisor role — the right candidate will be as comfortable with a wrench as with a work order. You will manage both scheduled preventative maintenance and unscheduled events across all facility systems, lead vendor relationships, and maintain the high standards our families and staff expect. This position operates with significant autonomy and requires someone who takes genuine pride in a well-run facility.
