Please scroll down and read how to apply for the position. Please do not apply through Indeed.com

Position Overview
CPT’s campus includes three buildings, a parking lot, four performance venues, multiple rehearsal and event spaces, and offices. It is an active, creative campus where the needs can change quickly: a typical week might include preventive maintenance, coordinating a contractor, preparing spaces for performances, solving an unexpected building issue, and planning the facilities operation for a major festival. The Facilities Manager oversees the care, maintenance, repair, cleanliness, and day-to-day functionality of these spaces while helping the campus work well for the people who use it.
This is both a management and a hands-on role. The Facilities Manager should be comfortable moving between planning, staff supervision, vendor coordination, administrative follow-through while also filling in for janitorial staff and undertaking simple repairs. We are looking for someone who takes pride in making things work, communicates clearly, follows through, and enjoys being part of a creative organization where no two days are exactly alike.
