Facility Manager
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to decide what constitutes a list. The responsibilities section has bullet-like sentences each starting with a bold heading? Actually the responsibilities are paragraphs with headings like "Daily Operations Ownership", "Inventory & Data Discipline", etc. Those could be treated as subheadings? But instruction: use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we could turn each responsibility block into a list item. However they also have internal sentences. Could wrap each responsibility heading as
- with maybe? But we should not invent tags beyond allowed? Only
, , - ,
. We can put inside - maybe but not required. Safer to just put each responsibility as a
- containing the prose.
Similarly requirements: list of bullet-like sentences. We'll make a
- list.
What Success Looks Like: also list-like sentences; we can make a
- .
The company overview at top: we can put as
maybe under a section "About the role"? Actually "Role Overview" is a heading; we could use
About the role
and then put the overview prose in . But the instruction: use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should use those exact headings when appropriate. So we will have:
About the role
... role overview ...
Responsibilities
- ...
...
Requirements
- ...
...
What Success Looks Like
- ...
...
We must not include sections like Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule if no content.
We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract.
Company description paragraph: "Outlast is disrupting the largest market you’ve never heard of. The bulk recyclables industry is a :$1 trillion industry - yet is largely a technological desert. Outlast is transforming recyclables trade through technology. Our platform enables suppliers and buyers to safely and effortlessly transact their materials at the push of a button. Beyond connecting suppliers and buyers, we also provide global logistics, financing, and quality control. As a company, we are keenly focused on optimizing the customer experience and doing good for the environment by promoting recycling. The proof is in the facts: recycling 1 ton of material reduces greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to more than 7,000 miles driven by a passenger car. Outlast is poised for explosive growth, completing several rounds of funding and landing contracts that can scale to $100s of millions in revenue."
We need to keep that. Possibly put under About the role? Actually that's company overview, not role overview. But we have no section for company; we could put it in About the role as part of role overview? The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities...). It doesn't forbid other headings, but we should follow that pattern. Could we add another heading like "About the company"? Not in list. Safer to incorporate company overview into About the role section as preamble. Or we could make a separate
before any heading? The instruction: Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences. It didn't say we must have headings only; we can have
before first heading. But they gave examples of headings; we can still have other headings? Probably better to stick to given headings. So we put company overview in a
under About the role before the list? Actually About the role should contain role overview. But we can include company overview as part of About the role? Might be odd but acceptable.
Alternatively we could make a heading "About the company" but not in list; risk of being considered not following instruction. I'd keep to the given headings.
Thus:

Role Overview We are seeking a Facility Manager to own the day-to-day operations of our Houston facility. As the primary operational leader on site, you’ll run the full daily rhythm, yard, warehouse, processing, shipping, inventory, customer transactions, and documentation and be accountable for a safe, compliant, and efficient operation with 100% daily transaction and data accuracy in the Outlast platform. Reporting to the VP of Operations, this is a hands-on, boots on the ground role for an experienced scrap or recycling operator who treats the facility like their own business, builds processes where none exists, and embraces software as the operating system of the yard. Your mission: run a tight, reliable facility, install data and inventory discipline, build a dependable crew, and drive measurable improvements in throughput, cost, and uptime.
But we have duplicated "Role Overview" phrase; we could just incorporate that as prose.
Now Responsibilities: need to capture each bullet.
From text:
Daily Operations Ownership
Run the full daily rhythm — open and secure the facility, manage delivery schedules, receiving, sorting, processing, and shipping — without escalation for routine decisions.
Personally inspect loads, run the scale, and operate equipment when needed; lead from the floor, not the office.
Serve customers at the facility and execute every transaction accurately.
Escalate issues to the VP of Operations with recommendations, not open questions.
Inventory & Data Discipline
Ensure every receipt, shipment, scale ticket, inventory adjustment, and customer transaction is entered into the Outlast platform before close of business, every day, with audit clean records.
Stand up inventory reconciliation processes and hit reported inventory accuracy targets.
Keep material staged, identified, and accessible no “mystery piles.”
Crew Leadership & Development
Stabilize staffing and set a daily work-assignment cadence.
Coach operators, address underperformance, and build coverage depth so the facility never depends on one person.
Invest in your people and build bench strength rather than hoarding knowledge.
Safety, Compliance & Vendor Management
Own safety programs, training records, and environmental and regulatory compliance documentation.
Safety for all personnel is top priority.
Never trade safety for throughput; stop work when safety requires it.
Manage vendor relationships, approve invoices and purchase requests, and track facility expenses against budget.
Manage preventive maintenance and downtime for shears, balers, loaders, and scales.
Reporting & Continuous Improvement
Deliver regular KPI reporting to the VP of Operations: throughput, safety, inventory accuracy, downtime, and cost.
Surface risks and capital expenditure needs with business cases, not complaints.
Identify and ship at least 2-3 concrete workflow, layout, or process improvements with quantified impact on throughput, downtime, or cost.
We need to turn each of these into - . Could combine multiple sentences into one
- . Probably each bullet heading with its sentences as one
- . We'll do that.
Requirements list:
Direct experience running or serving as #2 at a scrap yard or recycling facility.
Industry experience is non-negotiable, including knowledge of material grades, weighing and scale operations, QC inspection, and load placement.
Hands-on ownership of receiving and shipping documentation, scale tickets, and inventory reconciliation, with demonstrable accuracy results.
Proven crew leadership: scheduling, work assignment, coaching, and corrective action for yard or equipment operators and processing staff.
Systems fluency comfortable living in an operational software platform daily to enter, audit, and report from it, rather than relying on paper and clipboards.
A player-coach who will personally inspect loads, run the scale, and jump on a forklift when needed.
Able to operate without a corporate admin layer owning your own reporting, recordkeeping, and vendor and customer communication and to work effectively for a VP of Operations who isn’t on site daily.
Comfortable building SOPs, layouts, and operating cadences from loose foundations rather than inheriting a mature ops manual.
Strongly preferred: experience owning safety programs and compliance documentation, and managing vendors and facility expenses against a budget.
Nice to have: preventive-maintenance know-how for shears, balers, loaders, forklifts, grapple material handlers and scales.
Based in Houston, TX; on-site daily with minimal travel.
We need to keep all.
What Success Looks Like list:
You run daily operations end-to-end, making routine decisions without escalation.
Every transaction is entered accurately into the Outlast platform by close of business each day, and records are audit-clean.
Inventory accuracy targets are hit and reported, with material staged and easy to identify.
The crew is stable and cross-trained, and the facility no longer depends on any single person.
The VP of Operations receives reliable KPI reporting, with risks and capex surfaced as clear business cases.
You’ve shipped 2-3 measurable improvements to throughput, downtime, or cost.
We should also maybe include the AI note? It's boilerplate about hiring process; instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The AI note is likely part of hiring process; could be considered boilerplate? It's about AI tools usage in hiring. Might be considered legal/boilerplate; safer to remove. Also "Depends on experience" at end is placeholder; drop.
