Facilities Manager in Palo Alto

We are working to find someone to manage a large estate on the Peninsula. This is an amazing opportunity to work for a generous client! The family is generous and kind and wants to find someone who can fit in with the intelligent and friendly atmosphere of the home. Your principle is a brilliant entrepreneur who is so busy with his company that he needs to be able to depend on you to take care of his property, end to end. The ideal candidate will be someone who has experience in renovations/construction and can manage projects on their own. Any experience in mechanical engineering would also be required to run the process of “Going Green”- these are academics and want to take their estate to the height of the environmentally proper!

Candidate must have experience working in large estates and understand the dynamics of a busy household. This is a fully staffed home, so you must be a team player and be able to juggle the various tasks that may come up. The client wants to Go Green and would love someone who has experience in working in this type of household- even better if you have helped transitioning into sustainable living. Every project requires comprehensive management to address the challenges and risks associated with planning, design and construction. Must know how to handle anything from HVAC systems to actual hands-on small building projects. Candidate must also have a sense of building contracts and various types of property insurance, etc. Must know how to use a computer, email, and cell/text phone. You will be working and managing a good team of workers. A strong attention to detail and a disciplined work ethic are needed. This is a hands on job, and we want to find someone who doesn’t mind getting their hands dirty.

Schedule is M-F, flexibility is key as they may need you on a weekend if an occasional something comes up.
