Facilities Manager

Description

The Facilities Manager is responsible for coordinating and overseeing the maintenance and general upkeep of the Chances Casino and Crest Hotel properties in Prince Rupert, BC. This newly created role integrates both venues with maintenance teams from both locations reporting to this unified role to ensure cost savings through collaboration, shared procurement, and joint purchasing. Because of the breadth of this role across two properties, we are looking for someone with at least 3 years of experience in a similar role.

The Facilities Manager will oversee capital project management, including renovations, equipment upgrades, and expansion projects, as well as develop and execute a facilities management plan, schedule, procedures, and standards. They will also be responsible for coordinating repairs and maintenance, keeping records, managing maintenance budgets, and sourcing third party vendors for specialized repairs and projects. As such, we’re looking for a candidate with strong technical knowledge as well as organizational, multi-tasking, and project management skills.

A strong respect for and knowledge of safety requirements is necessary, and skills like WHMIS, First Aid, and Fire Safety are a definite asset given that the Facilities Manager will be responsible for ensuring all team members and vendors comply with our safety standards and regulations.

Strong leadership and communication skills are also a necessity since the Facilities Manager will be responsible for serving as the main contact for client maintenance requests and will work closely with both hotel and casino management to coordinate and prioritize their maintenance requests while managing the maintenance team to cover both locations.

A certificate or diploma relevant to building or facilities management and maintenance would be an asset but is not required. We do require that all candidates are 19 years of age or older and can successfully complete a criminal record and credit check.
