About the team

The Facilities Operations Team works to balance two priorities. First, we provide team members and customers with best-in-class support, maximizing equipment uptime, ensuring facilities are safe and clean, and maintaining consistently high customer experience across all locations as it relates to day-to-day repair & maintenance work order activity. We coordinate 24/7 emergency response. We also ensure our facilities maintain regulatory compliance related to our building systems, hazardous materials, energy usage, permits and permits/licensing related to these systems.

Second, we need to deliver this level of service while minimizing cost and maintaining compliance. These priorities form the foundation of our mission.
