Property & Facilities Manager Hands-On Facilities Management | Multi-Site Operations | Preventive Maintenance | Building Maintenance | No Direct Reports See it. Own it. Fix it. Make it better.
Location & Travel: - Based in Wichita, Kansas
- Regular travel between Wichita and Hutchinson properties
- Typical Hutchinson presence of 1–2 days per week
A Hands-On, Individual Contributor Role - This is a team-of-one facilities role. This is not a people-management position.
- You'll personally own the day-to-day care and operation of our properties, performing hands-on maintenance and troubleshooting while coordinating vendors, contractors, and licensed trades when specialized expertise or additional capacity is needed.
Role Overview - Capital III Services is looking for a hands-on Property & Facilities Manager to own facilities management, building maintenance, preventive maintenance, property operations, and vendor management across our Wichita and Hutchinson properties.
- This isn't a desk-first facilities role. It's for someone who likes to get things done.
- You'll be a Player first, working hands-on with our buildings and grounds, troubleshooting problems, performing appropriate repairs and maintenance yourself, and bringing in HVAC, electrical, plumbing, construction, and other skilled-trade partners when specialized expertise is needed.
The Person Who Will Thrive Here - You're probably a strong fit if you're someone who notices things other people walk past.
- You don't need someone to hand you a work order before you act.
- You enjoy working with your hands, troubleshooting a problem, and figuring out how to make something work better. But you also understand that great facilities management requires preventive maintenance, planning, vendor accountability, documentation, budget discipline, and follow-through.
- You don't have to know how to do absolutely everything yourself.
- You do need to know enough to ask the right questions, find the right solution, bring in the right expert when needed, and make sure the work gets finished correctly.
- You're comfortable being the person others trust to say: “I've got it.”
- And whether you do the work yourself or bring someone else in, you own the outcome.
Why This Role Exists - One owner across the portfolio. Our Wichita and Hutchinson properties need one accountable person looking across the entire portfolio and ensuring neither location becomes an afterthought.
- More preventive maintenance. Less reactive maintenance. We want to identify building, equipment, safety, and maintenance issues early and address them before they become disruptions or emergencies.
- A higher standard of care. Our properties should be safe, reliable, well-maintained, professional, and ready for the employees, tenants, customers, and guests who use them.

Preventive Maintenance and Site Operations is the largest responsibility, representing approximately 40% of the position's steady-state allocation. - Perform hands-on building maintenance, general repairs, troubleshooting, and facility improvements across the properties.

- Coordinate required inspections, permits, testing, and recurring maintenance.

- Scope and execute capital projects and facility improvements.
- Obtain bids, select contractors, manage schedules, monitor costs, and drive projects through completion.
- Partner with Finance and leadership on capital planning, asset lifecycle needs, and replacement decisions.

What We're Looking For Required Experience - 7+ years of progressive experience in facilities management, building maintenance, property management/property operations, multi-site operations, construction management, skilled trades, or a related field.
- Experience managing or supporting multiple buildings, properties, or locations.
- At least 3 years of experience leading work through vendors, contractors, skilled trades, teams, or other external service providers.
