- Support the reliable operation of plant utilities and infrastructure, including compressed air, chilled water, electrical distribution, wastewater systems, fire protection, and other site utility systems as assigned.
- Review work orders, job and project status, shift notes, service reports, and open issues; prioritize actions based on safety, production impact, compliance, cost, and customer need.
- Maintain regular plant-floor presence and respond to facility calls, special requests, abnormal conditions, and emerging risks.
- Lead or coordinate facility repairs, replacements, minor renovations, infrastructure improvements, and other projects required to sustain plant operations.
- Develop scopes of work, timing, estimates, priorities, and execution plans; coordinate stakeholders through project completion and closeout.
- Provide technical direction and oversight to outside vendors, contractors, and integrated facilities-service providers.
- Coordinate pre-task planning, permits, contractor controls, work-area communication, and other requirements before facility work begins.
- Maintain accurate records and update applicable systems, including SAP, Maximo, Corrigo, CAP trackers, and other plant reporting tools.
- Support implementation and ongoing effectiveness of the Flint Metal Center Facility Safety Management Program and applicable Workplace Safety System requirements.
- Coordinate with Safety and Industrial Hygiene on facility-related hazards, corrective actions, written programs, inspections, safety observation tours, and annual program reviews.
- Support contractor safety, confined-space controls, hazardous-energy controls, crane and hoist safety, chemical controls, fire protection, emergency preparedness, and other facility safety processes as assigned.
- Participate in incident reviews, risk assessments, structured problem solving, and corrective-action development; verify that actions are sustained.
- Monitor key performance indicators for facilities services, work-order completion, contractor performance, costs, cleanliness, safety, reliability, and customer satisfaction.
- Prepare and communicate status updates, escalation summaries, scorecards, and recommendations to leadership and cross-functional partners.
- Use GMS principles and continuous-improvement methods to eliminate recurring issues, improve facility reliability, reduce waste, and control costs.
- Provide technical guidance, coordination, and knowledge transfer to less-experienced facilities personnel and plant partners.
- Promote a culture of safety, quality, accountability, inclusion, and continuous improvement.
Required qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in engineering, facilities management, construction management, business, or a related discipline; equivalent technical education and relevant experience may be considered.
- 5+ years of experience in facilities engineering, plant engineering, maintenance, utilities, construction or project management, manufacturing operations, or a related field.

- Strong analytical, communication, organization, relationship-building, and project-management skills.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office and the ability to learn and use SAP, Maximo, Corrigo, CAP, GMS, and other applicable systems.
- Ability to work on-site in an active manufacturing environment and support occasional off-shift, weekend, or emergency-response activities when business needs require.
Preferred qualifications
- Experience in automotive, metal stamping, powertrain, high-volume manufacturing, or a comparable industrial environment.
- Experience with GM-GMS, Workplace Safety System requirements, facility safety management, or UAW-GM contractor and safety processes.
- Experience overseeing integrated facilities-management services.
- Experience with energy management, environmental coordination, utility systems, reliability improvement, or capital and minor-capital projects.
- Experience with SAP, Maximo, Corrigo, preventive-maintenance systems, facility-management systems, or KPI reporting.
- Experience coordinating cross-functional teams and external contractors in an operating plant.
