Facility Manager/Building Engineer

This position ensures that the Club’s facilities remain safe, functional, efficient, and aligned with the service expectations of a private golf and beach club environment.

3. Contractor Management & Procurement

• Solicit bids, evaluate proposals, and select qualified contractors for specialized work.
• Oversee contractor performance, ensuring work is completed on time, within budget, and to Club standards.
• Manage vendor relationships and negotiate service agreements.
• Conduct procurement for maintenance supplies, tools, and replacement parts.

4. Facility Operations & Repairs

• Perform hands‑on maintenance tasks including minor electrical, plumbing, carpentry, painting, and equipment repairs.
• Troubleshoot building system issues and determine whether repairs should be handled in‑house or outsourced.
• Maintain mechanical rooms, utility areas, and equipment in clean, safe, and organized condition.
• Track and report cost savings to the General Manager and Chief Financial Officer.

5. Property & Infrastructure Oversight

• Oversee maintenance of non‑golf‑course property including:
• Roads and parking lots
• Drainage and stormwater systems
• Irrigation not tied to course turf
• Entrances, fences, gates, signage, lighting, and outbuildings
• Coordinate with the Club’s Agronomist on shared systems (e.g., pumps, wells, irrigation controls).

6. Safety, Compliance & Risk Management

• Establish and enforce safety protocols for staff, contractors, and vendors.
• Ensure compliance with OSHA, fire codes, environmental regulations, and building standards.
• Conduct regular facility inspections and document corrective actions.

7. Budgeting & Asset Management

• Assist in developing the annual facilities budget.
• Track maintenance costs, identify and track cost‑saving opportunities, and forecast capital replacement needs.
• Maintain an asset inventory and lifecycle plan for major equipment.
• Develops an annual maintenance plan based on an assessment of physical assets.

Qualifications:

• 10+ years of experience in facility management, building engineering, or commercial maintenance.
• Strong working knowledge of and demonstrated relationships with local architects, engineers, and contractors.
• Strong working knowledge of HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical systems. A certificate in HVAC systems is preferred.
• Experience in managing contractors and service providers across multiple trades.
• Ability to read and comprehend blueprints, schematics, and technical manuals.
