Facilities Coordinator

About the Role

As our Facilities Coordinator, you will own the day-to-day reliability, safety, maintenance, and improvement of our Kent facility and assigned operational equipment.

This is a hands-on role where you will respond to issues, perform qualified routine work, coordinate specialized vendors, and follow repairs through to verified closure—ensuring our employees can work safely and critical equipment never sits idle.

Key Responsibilities

• Issue Resolution: Prioritize and resolve facility and equipment issues, including HVAC and humidity control, plumbing, lighting, electrical, roofs, walls, restrooms, utilities, warehouse areas, tanks, pumps, and forklifts.
• Hands-On Maintenance: Perform safe routine inspections, adjustments, cleaning, lubrication, minor repairs, and basic mechanical/electrical troubleshooting within demonstrated training and authorization.
• Asset & PM Management: Build and maintain the asset register, risk-based preventive maintenance (PM) schedule, equipment histories, warranties, service records, and critical spare-parts inventory.
• Safety & Compliance: Identify unsafe, unreliable, or overdue equipment. Coordinate removal from service, lockout/tagout (LOTO), escalation, calibration, verification, or requalification before returning equipment to use.
• Vendor & Contractor Management: Define service needs, request and compare vendor quotes, coordinate qualified contractors, monitor on-site work, verify invoices, collect documentation, and confirm completion with internal stakeholders.
• Backlog & Operations Tracking: Maintain a prioritized facilities backlog detailing risk, cost, owner, target dates, status, and evidence of closure. Escalate urgent risks or decisions requiring leadership approval.
• Operational & Projects Support: Support equipment installations and moves, workspace improvements, seasonal facility readiness, emergency response, and landlord coordination.
• Quality & Regulatory Standards: Follow the Integrated Management System, Safety Manual, approved operating procedures, purchasing controls, change control, and applicable environmental/quality standards.
