Facilities & Operations leader delivering $2.8M capital projects, vendor performance, and reliability for regulated biotech and manufacturing.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Facilities & Operations leader with 10+ years of experience managing multi-site facility systems, vendor performance, and capital projects up to $2.8M across biotech and manufacturing environments. I focus on driving facility reliability, leading capital improvement projects, and optimizing preventive maintenance to support operational performance.
I take ownership from planning through execution, leading lab expansion, renovation, and relocation projects while maintaining compliance and operational continuity. I’ve overseen contractor services across multi-building campuses and used operational metrics and root cause analysis to reduce downtime.
In my most recent role, I manage operational oversight of facility systems and vendor performance in a regulated biotech setting, including energy management and building automation systems. I develop and coordinate preventive maintenance programs for critical facility systems and apply tools like SAP CMMS to manage work orders, maintenance documentation, and equipment records.
