• Support and lead capital improvement projects from planning through implementation.
• Oversee the operation and maintenance of facility utilities and building systems.
• Monitor facility systems to verify proper, reliable, and efficient operation.

• Evaluate contractor performance and verify that completed work meets project, quality, safety, and operational requirements.
• Work with Maintenance, Engineering, Production, Safety, and other departments to identify the root causes of recurring problems.
• Develop and implement practical, long-term corrective solutions rather than temporary repairs.
• Analyze utility usage and energy consumption to identify waste, inefficiencies, and improvement opportunities.
• Recommend and implement projects that reduce energy consumption, control operating costs, and improve system reliability.
• Use the computerized maintenance management system to support maintenance planning, documentation, and equipment history.
• Follow all company safety requirements and promote safe work practices during facility projects and contractor activities.
• Perform other related duties and projects as assigned.
