Facilities Manager

Are you someone who takes pride in keeping things running smoothly? Do you like variety in your workday—solving problems, working with your hands, and seeing the direct impact of your work? We're looking for a reliable, hands-on Facilities Manager to help us maintain safe, welcoming spaces across our 17 branch locations throughout Northern Michigan.

What You'll Do:

You'll be the go-to person keeping our facilities in top shape—from our Alpena headquarters to branches across the region. One day you might be fixing a door, coordinating with an HVAC vendor, and inspecting a branch for safety compliance. The next, you could be winterizing a foreclosed property or planning preventative maintenance schedules. If you enjoy working independently, staying busy, and take satisfaction in a job well done, this role offers exactly that.

Your Day-to-Day:

• Deliver Exceptional Service: Provide service that aligns with our Service Promises—serving happily with energy and competence, being knowledgeable and accurate, and taking ownership of every request
• Keep Things Running: Handle routine, preventative, and corrective maintenance—carpentry, plumbing, painting, minor electrical work, and general building upkeep across all locations
• Be the Facilities Expert: Conduct regular inspections, spot issues before they become problems, and jump on urgent maintenance needs
• Coordinate the Pros: Work with trusted vendors for HVAC, roofing, electrical, plumbing, janitorial, landscaping, and snow removal—getting quotes, scheduling work, ensuring proper licensing and insurance, and monitoring performance
• Stay Compliant: Keep up with OSHA, ADA, and building code requirements; conduct safety inspections and implement corrective actions as needed
• Track & Plan: Monitor maintenance expenses, maintain detailed records of inspections, repairs, warranties, and vendor work, and help with budget preparation and preventative maintenance planning
• Foreclosed Properties: Inspect, winterize, clean, secure, and coordinate repairs on foreclosed properties as needed
• Stay Organized: Maintain tools, equipment, and storage areas in safe and orderly condition

What Makes You a Great Fit:

• You're handy and enjoy a variety of maintenance work—you don't need to be an expert in everything, but you have a working knowledge of building systems, maintenance practices, safety standards, and basic compliance requirements
• You're organized and can juggle multiple projects, vendors, and priorities seamlessly
• You're a self-starter who works independently on routine tasks with minimal supervision and knows when to escalate issues
• You communicate well with vendors, team members, and leadership
• You're comfortable working independently and traveling regularly to branch locations
• You're comfortable using Microsoft Office tools for documentation and communication

Qualifications:

• High school diploma or GED required; vocational/technical school training, apprenticeship completion, or associate degree in related field preferred
• 2+ years of experience in facilities maintenance, building maintenance, property management, or a related hands-on trade
• Working knowledge of basic carpentry, plumbing, electrical systems, HVAC, and general building systems
• Valid driver's license required for regular travel between branch locations

Why Work With Us:

• Variety: No two days are the same—you'll work across multiple locations and tackle different challenges regularly
• Autonomy: You'll have the freedom to manage your work and make decisions
• Impact: You'll directly contribute to creating safe, functional spaces for our members and employees
• Community: Serve a Credit Union that's been supporting Northeast Michigan for decades and gives back to the communities
• Excellent Benefits Package:
  • 401(k) with 100% match up to 4% plus an additional 4% profit share contribution
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • Company-paid life insurance (2x annual salary)
  • Short-term and long-term disability for financial protection
  • Generous paid time off
  • Nine paid holidays, including your birthday
  • And much more!

Location & Travel:

This position is based at our Alpena headquarters, with regular travel to our 17 branch locations required. A company vehicle is provided for work-related travel.
