- Workflow Optimization: Modernize and oversee the prioritization, scheduling, and quality assurance of all routine work orders, preventative maintenance schedules, and in-house projects.
- Resource Allocation: Optimize the utilization of labor, materials, and external contractors to maximize campus uptime and extend the lifecycle of university assets.
- Vehicle Fleet management: oversee maintenance and operations of campus fleet.
Compliance, Sustainability & Modernization:
- Compliance Lead: Direct the campus-wide plant operations to meet the 2029 state compliance roadmap and lead the implementation of the Building Automation System (BAS) Master Plan.
- Support Modernization and Reduce Deferred Maintenance: Identify, prioritize, and manage deferred maintenance risks, collaborating with university leadership to secure funding and execute capital renewal projects.
Safety & Training: Ensure all university safety regulations are observed and that maintenance staff are trained in modern technical methods and the proper use of PPE.
Performs other duties as assigned.

Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:

Proficiency in using data-driven tools (e.g., AssetPlanner) and reliability metrics to prioritize investments.
Ability to translate complex technical needs into a financial “business case” for university administration.
Ability to act as a strategic buffer between technical operations and university leadership, maintaining a focus on stewardship and institutional mission.
Sufficient knowledge of high-pressure steam safety, DDC controls, and structural systems to effectively direct specialized technical leads.
Ability to effectively communicate with a wide range of campus stakeholders.
Knowledge of and commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Required Qualifications:

Bachelor’s Degree and 3+ years of experience in facilities leadership OR in lieu of a degree, 5+ years of work experience with at least 3 years in facilities leadership.
Valid driver’s license (Must have had a valid driver’s license for at least 2 years).
Finalist applicants must satisfactorily complete pre-employment background checks, including a driving abstract check, and pass PLU’s Driver’s Certification Training.

Preferred Qualifications:

Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Facilities Management, or a related field strongly preferred.
Experience in a higher education or complex institutional environment.

Work Conditions:

Frequent exposure to varied conditions (hot/cold/noisy) and potential hazards typical of a central utility plant.

Physical Requirements:

Regularly required to stand, walk, and climb to inspect facilities and project sites across a 100+ acre campus.
