Warehouse Facilities Manager

Warehouse Facilities Manager

North Brunswick, NJ On-Site
$80,000 - $120,000

Overview

A large, established e-commerce and retail company is seeking a hands-on Warehouse Facilities Manager to take full ownership of its high-volume fulfillment facility.

In a busy warehouse, when a dock door, conveyor, forklift, or critical piece of equipment goes down, operations can come to a stop. This person will be the one who keeps the building running -staying ahead of maintenance, managing vendors, solving problems quickly, and making sure the facility is safe, organized, and operational every day.

This is a working manager role for someone who can manage the big picture but isn't afraid to get hands-on. You'll own the facility function, manage a small team, oversee outside vendors and budgets, and make sure problems don't sit around waiting for someone else to handle them.

Responsibilities

• Take ownership of day-to-day facility operations for a large fulfillment warehouse
• Keep critical warehouse equipment running, including dock doors, dock levelers, conveyors, forklifts, and racking
• Manage HVAC, electrical, plumbing, fire/sprinkler, roofing, security, snow removal, and other facility vendors
• Get quotes, negotiate pricing, schedule work, and hold vendors accountable
• Own preventive maintenance and stay ahead of issues before they disrupt operations
• Manage the facility budget, approve invoices, and oversee work orders
• Maintain inspections, certifications, permits, and facility compliance
• Oversee warehouse safety, including forklift training and certification
• Manage a small maintenance/cleaning team and keep the facility clean and organized
• Jump into repairs and troubleshooting when something can be handled in-house
• Support a neighboring company-owned property and coordinate resolution of facility issues
• Serve as the point person for the occasional after-hours facility emergency

Ideal Candidate

• facilities management experience in a warehouse, distribution, fulfillment, or industrial environment
• Hands-on and mechanically capable-you understand buildings and equipment and aren't afraid to troubleshoot
• Strong vendor management and negotiation skills
• Extremely organized with strong follow-through
• Experience managing preventive maintenance, work orders, budgets, and invoices
• Familiar with warehouse equipment such as docks, conveyors, levelers, and forklifts
• Comfortable managing a small team while remaining hands-on
• Strong sense of ownership-if something breaks, you make sure it gets handled
• Comfortable serving as the after-hours emergency contact when needed
