Job Description

As Facility Manager at General Matter, reporting to the Site Manager, you'll build and lead the facilities function for a roughly 87-acre industrial site in Paducah, Kentucky, that we're bringing back into service for nuclear-industry process piping and steel fabrication.

Requirements

Evidence of exceptional ability (prior projects, portfolio of work, completed products, etc.).
Strong understanding of engineering fundamentals.
Ability to perform trade studies and make clear recommendations using first principles and engineering fundamentals, even with partial information.
Bachelor's degree in engineering, construction management, facilities management or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
8+ years in facilities management for industrial or manufacturing sites, including 3+ years leading facilities teams and contractors.
Hands-on knowledge of industrial electrical distribution, HVAC, compressed air, water/wastewater and fire protection systems.
Experience restoring, renovating or recommissioning older industrial buildings or bringing a facility back into service.
Proven ability to manage capital projects and contractors: scope, bids, budget, schedule and closeout.
Working knowledge of OSHA, NFPA and local building and fire code requirements.
Experience with a computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) for work orders and PMs.
Must be a U.S. person, as this role requires regular access to export-controlled environments, and able to obtain and maintain the site access authorization required for the role.
Ability to travel up to approximately 25%, including to other company sites, suppliers and vendors, and to respond to after-hours facility emergencies.
Ability to work extended hours and weekends as necessary.
This position is based onsite in Paducah, Kentucky.
Experience in a fast-paced engineering or highly technical environment, with a resourceful approach to delivering under tight timelines or budget constraints.
Experience standing up a new facilities organization or opening a new or restarted site.
Facilities experience in a nuclear, defense, chemical or other highly regulated industrial setting.
Professional certification such as CFM, FMP or a PE license.
Experience running multi-building campuses, rail-served sites or heavy-industry yards.
Energy management or utility-cost reduction experience.
