• Coordinate snow removal and ice management to maintain safe facility access throughout Minnesota winters.
• Schedule and oversee seasonal services, including landscaping, lawn care, and exterior maintenance.

• Support emergency response planning and facility-related incident resolution.
• Help create an environment where employees and visitors can feel safe and supported.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who brings an owner’s mindset to facility management. You notice what needs attention, take initiative, follow through, and understand that maintaining a great facility is about more than fixing things when they break.

Our ideal candidate is:

• Proactive, dependable, and solutions-focused.
• Comfortable managing multiple priorities and responding to unexpected facility needs.
• Skilled at building productive relationships with contractors, vendors, and internal partners.
