Facilities Engineer III
About the Role
The Facilities Engineer supports the critical infrastructure, systems and processes that enable large-scale complex medical device manufacturing and laboratory operations to ensure reliability, compliance and sustainability across campuses. This role partners closely with facilities technicians, manufacturing teams and cross-functional stakeholders to improve how facilities systems are designed, monitored, maintained and operated, and ensure systems operate efficiently, safely and in alignment with FDA regulations. You will focus on infrastructure performance, process improvement, troubleshooting and long-term system reliability, while providing flexible operational support across facilities functions as business and site needs evolve. This is an on-site role requiring employees to work from the local Boston Scientific site.
