Benson, NC On-site
Salary not listedJobFig found this opening at its original source and checks that it remains available.
About the role
The Facilities Manager is responsible for the day-to-day operation and maintenance of Vulcan Elements' R&D facility (~21,000 sq ft), a pilot-scale NdFeB magnet manufacturing space supporting near-continuous, high-uptime operations, while also supporting facility readiness and startup activities at the Production Facility currently under construction in Benson, NC. This role balances ongoing operational support at an active site with forward-looking coordination on a greenfield facility — working closely with the construction/project team to ensure a smooth transition from construction to operations and eventually taking on full facilities management responsibility at both locations.
What you'll bring
- 5+ years of facilities management experience in an industrial or manufacturing environment
- Working knowledge of building systems: HVAC, electrical, plumbing, fire protection
- Experience managing outside contractors and service vendors
- Familiarity with OSHA, NFPA, and local building/fire codes
- Comfortable operating with some ambiguity, given the production site is still under development
- Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export-controlled information or facilities.
- The position requires regular presence on the production floor and the ability to navigate all areas of the facility.
- Candidates must be able to climb stairs, stand and walk for extended periods, and work in environments that may be hot, humid, or noisy.
- Employees must be able to complete required fit testing, wear appropriate PPE for the duration of assigned tasks, and respond safely to changing conditions within the production environment.
- Experience supporting a facility through construction/commissioning into operations is a strong plus
