Position Summary:

SFM is seeking a hands-on Site Facility Manager for a faith-based campus in Brentwood, TN. This is a working role for someone who takes initiative and gets things done. The right person doesn't need to be an expert in everything — but they should be resourceful, know their limits, and proactively find solutions or bring in the right help. The ideal candidate is self-reliant, communicates clearly, and is comfortable taking direction from multiple members of the on-site community staff.

Key Responsibilities: 

Facility Operations & Maintenance 

• Perform hands-on day-to-day maintenance, including plumbing, electrical, life safety, and general building systems 
• Conduct routine repairs, preventive maintenance, and building inspections — and see them through to completion 
• Proactively monitor building conditions, identify issues early, and act before small problems become larger ones
• Manage a work order system — log, prioritize, and resolve requests promptly 
• Maintain accurate records for inspections, work orders, maintenance logs, and regulatory requirements 
• Perform and document seasonal start-up and shutdown procedures for building mechanical systems

Vendor & Contractor Management

• Coordinate and manage external vendors and contractors for specialized maintenance, repairs, and inspections
• Know when to handle something in-house vs. when to bring in outside help — and act accordingly
• Ensure contracted work meets SFM's standards for quality, safety, and compliance; maintain vendor documentation.

Project Coordination & Collaboration

• Coordinate with the on-site Project Manager on facility improvement projects, providing field-level input and execution
• Support small-scale projects, including room reconfigurations, minor renovations, and equipment installations
• Communicate proactively with community staff and SFM management on project status and maintenance concerns.

Safety & Compliance

• Conduct regular safety inspections; promptly correct hazards to maintain a safe environment for all staff and visitors
• Maintain compliance with local, state, and federal safety regulations; keep permits, licenses, and certifications current
• Assist in tracking expenses for repairs, maintenance, and supplies in support of facilities budgeting

Requirements

Qualifications:

• 4–6 years of hands-on facility maintenance or building operations experience
• Strong working knowledge of core building systems: plumbing, electrical, life safety, and mechanical infrastructure 
• Problem-solver who can assess a situation, work through it, and know when to call in a specialist
• Self-reliant and proactive — takes ownership and doesn't wait to be told what needs attention
• Strong communicator who can take direction from multiple staff members and keep everyone informed
• Proficiency with work order systems and standard office tools (Google Workspace or Microsoft Office)
• Valid driver's license and reliable transportation
• Must be able to pass a background check. 

Preferred

• Experience in institutional, religious, or campus-style facilities
• Familiarity with building automation/energy management systems (BAS/BMS) or CMMS platforms
• OSHA 10 or OSHA 30 certification; experience with facilities budgeting

Working Conditions:

• Full-time, on-site — Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM
• Regular exposure to mechanical rooms, rooftop equipment, and varying indoor/outdoor temperatures
• Must be able to lift to 50 lbs., climb ladders, work in confined spaces, and perform physical maintenance tasks
• Candidates must demonstrate a respectful, professional approach toward staff, visitors, and the mission of the facility
