THE POSITION

The Building Manager Administrator position needs to support junior staff in project delivery, while also representing Department interests on emerging issues which can be complex and time-consuming to help increase capacity for the Deputy Director. The position will have up to three (3) direct reports and manage a budget of approximately $12M. The person in this position needs to have a strong understanding of broad building systems and current trends in building and facilities management. The position provides facilities management support for 50 regional and neighborhood community centers, park restrooms, and other structures. Work activities include developing and prioritizing five-year capital budgets for building related infrastructure, supporting Public Works teams in the design of improvements, and coordinating with various trades to support ongoing repairs at facilities.

In particular, candidates should have a wide range of experience from the micro to the macro since the group manages building repairs/renovations for the department, but also needs to establish and strengthen organizational systems for facilities management and engage on emerging issues.
