We are seeking a highly organized, self-driven Operations, Facilities & Build Manager to help support our fast-moving hospitality and immersive entertainment environments.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys building systems, solving problems, organizing chaos, maintaining facilities, and bringing large creative projects to life.
Our business operates multiple themed restaurant, cocktail, and immersive entertainment concepts with ongoing construction, maintenance, warehouse organization, and frequent large-scale thematic installations.
This is not a desk job. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who thrives in logistics, maintenance, fabrication, organization, and independent execution.
Core Responsibilities
Warehouse & Logistics
Organize, maintain, inventory, and improve warehouse systems.
Manage storage, protection, cleaning, and rotation of décor, props, furniture, tools, and themed assets.
Coordinate pickups, deliveries, material movement, and load organization.
Maintain clean, functional, efficient warehouse operations.
Theme Production & Build Support
Assist with immersive theme changes, installations, set builds, and seasonal transformations.
Read plans, measurements, diagrams, and construction concepts.
Execute prefab projects, assembly, fabrication, painting, installation, and build work.
Coordinate materials, tools, vendors, and production timelines.
Facilities & General Maintenance
Perform preventative maintenance and repairs across multiple hospitality locations.
Troubleshoot and complete general repairs including plumbing, toilets, sinks, shelving, hardware, lighting, drywall, paint, minor electrical, and equipment maintenance.
Maintain HVAC filter schedules, cooler coil cleaning, equipment upkeep, and facility appearance.
Identify problems proactively before they become emergencies.
Independent Project Management
Work with minimal supervision.
Prioritize projects, maintenance needs, warehouse organization, and operational tasks.
Communicate progress clearly and solve problems independently.
Take ownership of systems, standards, timelines, and execution.
Preferred Qualifications
Construction, maintenance, facilities, fabrication, or trade background strongly preferred.
Experience reading plans, measurements, blueprints, or build terminology.
Strong organizational and warehouse management skills.
Comfortable using tools, ladders, power equipment, and hands-on problem solving.
Self-motivated, dependable, and capable of operating independently.
Hospitality, production, event, theatrical, fabrication, or themed environment experience is a major plus.
Ability to lift, move, build, organize, and work in active environments.
Who You Are
You are the type of person who notices what’s broken before anyone tells you.
You enjoy creating order, building systems, solving operational problems, organizing physical spaces, and making ambitious projects happen.
You can move comfortably between warehouse logistics, construction conversations, maintenance troubleshooting, and creative build execution.
If you like variety, autonomy, hands-on work, and helping bring immersive environments to life — this role may be a perfect fit.
Compensation: Based on experience.
Schedule: Flexible / Project-Driven / Full-Time Opportunity.
