Job Summary:
The Facilities Manager is responsible for the day-to-day management of NOAH's facilities, janitorial, and Environmental Health & Safety programs across eight clinic sites in the Phoenix metro area. This is a working manager role, primarily office-based (approximately 50-60% of the time), with regular travel to clinic locations to conduct site audits, manage vendors, and ensure operational standards are consistently met. The ideal candidate brings hands-on trade experience across plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and general building systems - with the ability to walk a site, diagnose issues, and determine the correct order of operations whether the work is self-performed or vendor-coordinated. A vendor-first operator by default, this person maintains a strong contractor network and exercises sound judgment on scope, sequencing, and resource deployment. This position directly supervises the janitorial team and serves as NOAH's central point of coordination for all facilities work orders and service requests.
Duties/Responsibilities:
Manage NOAH's facilities work order system; triage, prioritize, and route all incoming requests - assigning work to vendors or self-performing as appropriate based on scope, urgency, and operational impact.
Assess facilities issues across all clinic sites to diagnose root cause, determine the correct order of operations, and coordinate the appropriate response - whether self-performed or vendor-coordinated - across plumbing, HVAC, electrical, landscaping, and general building systems.
Build and maintain a reliable network of contractors and service providers across the Phoenix metro area; operate with a vendor-first approach, engaging the right resource for the right job at the right time.

Perform hands-on facilities work across a range of trades, including plumbing repairs, HVAC filter changes and minor service, basic electrical tasks, carpentry, drywall, painting, and landscaping coordination; exercise sound judgment on what to self-perform versus escalate to a licensed contractor based on scope, code requirements, and safety.

Serve as a key point of contact for multiple internal stakeholders including Practice Managers, IT, Security, and clinical operations; build strong working relationships across departments and ensure facilities needs are addressed in alignment with organizational priorities.
