Build a proactive safety culture through communication, engagement, and visual management of the safety pyramid (observations, near‑misses, injuries).
Ensure contractor safety, emergency preparedness, and compliance with all OSHA, Cal/OSHA, and company safety standards.
Develop KPIs and continuous improvement initiatives to reduce incidents and improve performance year over year.
Facilities Management
Oversee day‑to‑day facility operations, maintenance, and continuous improvement activities across two sites to ensure uptime, safety, and operational excellence.
Collaborate with HR and the facilities project leader to manage landlord relationships, coordinate improvement initiatives, and support an outstanding employee environment.
Partner with the Facilities Project Manager, architects, and general contractors on site expansion and major capital projects, ensuring alignment with operational needs and company standards.
Lead facility improvement projects, rapid response initiatives, and ongoing upgrades to maintain a high‑performing, compliant, and efficient workspace.
Support vendor management in partnership with HR, overseeing key service providers such as janitorial, landscaping, utilities, and maintenance contractors to ensure quality, cost control, and responsiveness.
Drive proactive facility planning and readiness by identifying improvement opportunities and ensuring the infrastructure scales with business growth.
Maintenance & Equipment Reliability
Leverage existing preventive maintenance programs to develop, implement, and execute a structured PM strategy that optimizes Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and reduces downtime.
Manage repair, calibration, and maintenance schedules for key production assets and supporting infrastructure.
Coordinate maintenance documentation, spare parts inventory, and service records.
Support capital improvement projects including equipment installation, relocation, and commissioning.
