• This role requires up to 30% travel to other locations to support operational and business needs.
• Conduct facility inspections and ensure compliance with local, state, and federal regulations, maintaining high standards of quality assurance.
• Identify opportunities for operational improvements, repairs, and upgrades, and implement solutions that enhance efficiency and performance.
• Develop and enforce environmental health and safety procedures tailored to each facility’s needs.
• Build and maintain vendor relationships, oversee invoicing processes, and review and approve purchase orders for parts, services, and labor.
• Apply broad business and technical knowledge to align facilities operations with departmental goals and cross-functional initiatives.
• Provide formal supervision to staff, including performance evaluations, coaching, training, and development planning.
• Manage daily team operations by setting work schedules, assigning tasks, cross-training staff, and tracking departmental deadlines.
• Serve as a mentor and role model, promoting CBRE’s RISE values and influencing others through leadership and collaboration.
