About the Role

This role is on-site at our manufacturing facility in Glen Cove, NY. We’re hiring a Facilities & Capital Projects Manager to lead the expansion of our primary manufacturing campus — from a multi-thousand sq ft operation today to 200,000+ sq ft supporting 200+ employees across production, engineering, and corporate functions. Your headline mission is the build: planning, contracting, and delivering a continuous pipeline of expansions, fit-outs, and infrastructure upgrades as we bring advanced manufacturing processes in-house. You’ll act as the owner’s representative on every project: directing architects, engineers, and general contractors on our behalf. You’ll also lead our facilities function as it grows. This is a player-coach role: run a contractor meeting in the morning, present a capital roadmap to the executive team in the afternoon.

Responsibilities

• Own the facility roadmap: plan and execute expansions, tenant improvements, and infrastructure upgrades as we scale to 200,000+ sq ft and beyond
• Lead all phases of construction and improvement projects — scope definition, bid solicitation, contractor selection, permitting, construction oversight, commissioning, and close-out — with multiple projects running in parallel
• Drive rigorous project management discipline: detailed schedules, milestone tracking, budget control, risk identification, and stakeholder communication from kickoff to ribbon-cut
• Coordinate facility requirements for new process introductions (NPI) — ensuring space, power, utilities, ventilation, drainage, and workflow are production-ready before equipment arrives
• Coordinate with IT and Engineering so new production zones are networked, monitored, and integrated before go-live
• Own the facilities capital budget; manage spend against plan with full transparency to leadership
• Maintain accurate facility drawings, equipment layouts, and utility documentation; run lessons-learned processes to improve execution speed and cost predictability
• Inherit, coach, and develop our existing facilities associate; build growth paths toward ownership of the maintenance function
• Build the facilities team ahead of expansions — staffing plans that scale in step with the business
• Set clear performance expectations, conduct regular 1:1s, and foster a culture of safety-first, accountability, and continuous improvement
• Act as a player-coach: lead from the front on complex problems while developing the team’s ability to solve independently
• Own the ecosystem of construction and facilities partners: general contractors, specialty trades (electrical, mechanical, civil, fire suppression, HVAC), landlords, and utilities
• Lead RFP, bid, and contract negotiation processes; establish clear SLAs, scope-of-work standards, and accountability across vendor relationships
• Build a qualified vendor bench that gives Standard Bots priority access, competitive pricing, and reliable execution as we grow
• Oversee day-to-day service vendors (janitorial, security, landscaping) through the facilities team
• Oversee the maintenance function — preventive and corrective programs across production, lab, cleanroom, and office spaces — executed by the facilities team you develop
• Ensure readiness of mechanical, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, compressed air, and utility systems for high-volume, continuous manufacturing (production uptime is a KPI)
• Partner with Manufacturing Operations on floor layout, material flow, and 5S/lean environment standards
• Own EHS compliance strategy, leveraging outside consultants for programs and audits, and build toward a dedicated EHS hire as we scale
• Manage permitting and regulatory compliance for industrial processes — CNC machining (coolant/chip disposal), spray painting (VOCs, ventilation, fire suppression), and casting (high-heat, fume extraction)
• Ensure safety requirements are engineered into every project from design, not retrofitted after

Requirements

• 8+ years delivering industrial or manufacturing construction projects, with significant time on the owner’s side (owner’s rep, plant engineering, or corporate capital projects)
• Track record of on-time, on-budget delivery across multiple large, concurrent projects — including capital projects of $5M+
• Fluency with construction contracts (GMP, lump sum, T&M), change order management, bid leveling, and contractor negotiation
• Experience with facilities serving heavy industrial processes (machining, painting/coating, casting, or equivalent) and their MEP demands
• Working knowledge of OSHA standards, building codes, fire and life safety systems, and environmental permitting
• Ability to read and interpret architectural, mechanical, and electrical drawings
• Experience managing and developing people — you’ve grown junior team members, not just subcontractors
• Strong communicator, equally credible with tradespeople and executives
• Experience taking a manufacturing facility from lease/shell through fit-out to operations
• Familiarity with spray booth design, VOC permitting, and NFPA 33 compliance
• Experience with cleanroom or controlled environment facilities (ISO 6–8)
• Experience in a high-growth, scaling manufacturing or robotics company
