Facilities Manager (Preventative Maintenance Program)

About the role

The Facilities Maintenance Technician will support day-to-day facility operations at our El Segundo headquarters, while coordinating facility-related needs as the company grows. This role involves building and owning a preventive maintenance program, ensuring system reliability, managing vendors, and supporting small projects.

Responsibilities

• Own facility systems and equipment: maintain asset inventory, logs, manuals, warranties, inspections, and compliance documentation.
• Develop and execute a risk-based preventive and corrective maintenance program, including PM schedules, checklists, tracking, troubleshooting, and repairs across mechanical, basic electrical, plumbing, carpentry, and general building systems.
• Respond to maintenance requests with strong triage, clear ETAs, issue escalation, and stakeholder communication in a fast-paced environment.
• Coverage of small facility projects such as installs, minor buildouts, workspace changes, equipment moves, and basic fabrication or repairs.
• Partner with safety and compliance stakeholders to ensure all work is performed safely and in compliance.
• Maintain an organized maintenance area; manage tools, critical spares, and reorder points to minimize downtime.
• Coordinate and manage vendors and contractors: scope work, request quotes, schedule access, oversee execution, and verify quality.

Requirements

• US citizenship or US permanent residency (due to the nature of our work).
• 3+ years of hands-on facilities maintenance experience (industrial, lab, R&D, or light manufacturing environments preferred).
• Demonstrated ability to thrive in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment and wear multiple hats without becoming a bottleneck.
• Experience creating, improving, or owning a preventive maintenance program (asset registry, PM schedules, checklists, and reporting).
• Practical troubleshooting skills across multiple trades (mechanical, basic electrical, plumbing, carpentry).
• Strong vendor coordination skills: scoping, scheduling, oversight, and quality verification.
• Solid written and verbal communication; able to document work clearly and provide concise status updates.
• Comfortable using common software tools (email, spreadsheets) and willing to learn work order/CMMS systems.
• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs, climb ladders, and work on your feet for extended periods.
• Current forklift certification preferred; must be able to obtain certification if not already qualified.
