About the Role

If you're a high-energy facilities professional who enjoys building relationships, solving problems, and being out in the field, this could be the opportunity for you.

As a CBRE Facilities Manager, you'll support one of our clients in the financial services sector, overseeing facilities operations across a portfolio of approximately 45 retail banking locations, consisting of both leased and owned properties. This is a highly visible, field-based role, with approximately 50% travel to branch locations, providing hands-on support and building strong relationships with branch teams and key stakeholders.

We're looking for a customer-focused professional who excels at building relationships, communicating effectively, and serving as a trusted partner to branch personnel. Success in this role requires the ability to manage multiple priorities, foster strong stakeholder relationships, and proactively address facility-related needs across a geographically dispersed portfolio.

As part of our Facilities Management team, you'll partner closely with client stakeholders, landlords, vendors, and service providers to ensure safe, efficient, and well-maintained facilities while delivering an exceptional experience for employees and customers alike.

What You'll Do

• Travel to and conduct regular visits to approximately 45 retail banking locations, spending up to 50% of your time in the field assessing facility conditions, partner with branch personnel, identify operational needs, and ensure a consistent workplace experience across the portfolio.
• Coordinate and oversee facility maintenance, repairs, and improvement projects performed by vendors, contractors, and service providers to ensure quality, compliance, and timely completion.
• Build and maintain strong client relationships, serving as a key point of contact for facility-related matters and leading discussions to resolve outstanding issues and concerns.
• Plan, execute, and manage capital and operating projects from initiation through completion, ensuring alignment with business objectives, budgets, and timelines.
• Develop, administer, and monitor operating and capital budgets, providing financial oversight and identifying opportunities for cost optimization.
• Conduct routine facility inspections to ensure compliance with local, state, and federal regulations, while identifying opportunities to improve operational efficiency, reliability, and asset performance.
• Oversee environmental health and safety programs and procedures to promote a safe, compliant, and high-performing workplace.
• Manage vendor relationships, contracts, and invoicing processes, including reviewing and approving proposals, quotes, and expenditures for parts, labor, and services.
• Deliver training and guidance on facility operations, maintenance procedures, safety protocols, and best practices to support team effectiveness and compliance.
• Provide leadership and direct supervision to facility staff, including workforce planning, employee development, performance management, coaching, recruiting, and onboarding.
• Lead by example and demonstrate behaviors aligned with CBRE's RISE values, fostering collaboration and influencing stakeholders to achieve shared goals and successful outcomes.
• Leverage expertise in facilities management and cross-functional collaboration to support departmental objectives and drive operational excellence.
• Identify, troubleshoot, and resolve day-to-day and moderately complex operational challenges, implementing effective solutions and continuously improving processes and systems.

What You'll Need:

• Proven experience managing commercial facilities, including day-to-day operations, maintenance programs, regulatory compliance, vendor relationships, contract oversight and service provider performance management.
• Experience managing a multi-site facilities portfolio is preferred, with the ability to effectively support multiple assets, stakeholders, and operational priorities across diverse locations.
• Experience utilizing a CMMS to manage work orders, preventative maintenance programs, asset data and reporting.
• Demonstrated leadership experience overseeing onsite teams, including setting performance expectations, providing coaching and development, conducting performance evaluations, and fostering a culture of accountability and engagement.
• Bachelor's degree preferred, with 3-5 years of relevant facilities management experience. An equivalent combination of education and experience will be considered. A valid driver's license is required. Facilities Management certification (e.g., FMP, CFM) is preferred.
• Experience developing, managing, and monitoring operating and capital budgets, with a strong understanding of financial controls and cost management practices.
• Excellent interpersonal, relationship-building, and communication skills, with the ability to effectively collaborate with clients, vendors, and cross-functional teams.

• Highly organized with strong attention to detail, effective prioritization skills, and a proactive, solutions-oriented mindset.
• Demonstrated ability to work independently while also collaborating effectively within a team environment.
