SUMMARY OF POSITION:

Help Us Keep Our Doors Open and Our Mission Moving - Director of Facilities

Springs Rescue Mission considers every position one of ministry and a vital and valued part of our team. Therefore, it is essential that all employees of SRM have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and subscribe to our Statement of Faith and Core Values. The Director of Facilities is responsible for overseeing the planning, maintenance, and daily operations of SRM’s facilities and infrastructure.
