Responsibilities

As Facility Manager at General Matter, reporting to the Site Manager, you'll build and lead the facilities function for a roughly 87-acre industrial site in Paducah, Kentucky, that we're bringing back into service for nuclear-industry process piping and steel fabrication. The site has several manufacturing buildings plus support buildings for offices, storage, utilities and shop services. Much of its infrastructure needs to be assessed, restored and recommissioned before production can start.
Most facilities managers inherit a running plant and keep it running. This role is different: it's a start-up. You'll restore legacy power, water, compressed air, natural gas, HVAC and fire protection systems, and sequence the work so each building is ready before production or occupancy arrives. You'll also build a facilities team of about 15 people from the ground up and decide with site leadership which services stay in-house and which are contracted. Your decisions on utility capacity and building readiness will directly set how fast the site can deliver the hardware behind America's new enrichment capacity.
If you seek high impact and are excited by fast-paced, intense, Skunkworks-style projects, we encourage you to apply to join our team.
Infrastructure Restoration & Capital Projects
Assess and restore legacy power distribution, water, compressed air, natural gas, HVAC, fire protection and building envelope across every manufacturing and support building; build and execute the infrastructure restoration plan.
Plan and manage facility capital projects and renovations, including the office building build-out: scope work, select and manage contractors, control budget and schedule, and close out projects.
Sequence work across buildings so each is ready ahead of its production or occupancy date.
Utilities, Grounds & Site Services
Manage utility service, metering and energy use, and coordinate with providers on capacity for production equipment, welding power and cranes.
Maintain roads, rail and truck access, laydown and storage yards, drainage, snow removal and the site perimeter across the property.
Run custodial, waste and recycling, pest control and space services across all manufacturing and support buildings.
