Summary

The Facilities & EHS Manager is responsible for ensuring that AllClear Aerospace & Defense’s Engineered Products business maintains a safe workplace, compliant operations, reliable facilities, and production-ready infrastructure.

This is a hands-on working manager role that combines facilities engineering, maintenance leadership, capital project execution, and Environmental, Health & Safety (EHS) management. The position operates at both the management and technical level—developing programs, managing contractors, technicians, budgets, and regulatory requirements, while also troubleshooting facility and equipment issues, performing inspections, and supporting installations, repairs, and other appropriate hands-on facilities work.

The Facilities & EHS Manager partners closely with Operations, Engineering, Quality, Supply Chain, Human Resources, and site leadership to maximize facility and equipment availability, improve workplace organization and flow, and ensure infrastructure supports both current production requirements and future growth.

The successful candidate will bring strong technical capability, practical critical-thinking skills, EHS knowledge, project management experience, and a bias for action. They should be equally comfortable developing an EHS program, managing a capital project, directing a contractor, or rolling up their sleeves to resolve an issue on the manufacturing floor.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

Facilities & Maintenance Management

• Manage the day-to-day operation, maintenance, repair, and improvement of manufacturing, office, warehouse, and supporting facilities.
• Maintain critical infrastructure, including electrical, HVAC, compressed air, plumbing, lighting, fire/life-safety, and other manufacturing support systems.
• Lead preventive and corrective maintenance activities for facilities and applicable production equipment, ensuring schedules are completed and documented.
• Prioritize maintenance and facility needs based on safety, production impact, regulatory requirements, risk, and business priorities.

• Support manufacturing equipment purchases by evaluating facility, utility, installation, safety, and environmental requirements.
• Maintain visibility of facility-related capital needs and support annual and long-range capital planning.
• Ensure required permits, inspections, documentation, and approvals are completed before new or modified equipment and facilities are placed into service.

Workplace Organization & Continuous Improvement

• Partner with Operations and Engineering to improve manufacturing layouts, material flow, workplace organization, ergonomics, and space utilization.
• Lead or support 5S/6S, Lean, Kaizen, and other continuous improvement initiatives.
