Join our Facilities Management team as a Facilities Programs Administrator and play a vital role in ensuring Minnesota Department of Health facilities operate safely, efficiently, and in compliance with all regulations. This position offers an exciting opportunity to lead infrastructure projects, optimize building systems, and improve operational processes that directly impact public health. If you excel at managing complex projects, coordinating diverse stakeholders, and enhancing facility operations, this is your chance to make a meaningful impact.

Key Responsibilities Include

Lead the administration and coordination of facility infrastructure programs, including maintenance, renovations, and capital projects, ensuring they are completed on time, within scope, and within budget. Oversee building systems operations by managing preventative maintenance, monitoring system performance, and ensuring operational reliability to support continuous facility functionality. Analyze space utilization and workplace operations, providing recommendations to optimize space, improve efficiency, and enhance workplace support services.

The Minnesota Department of Health works proactively to sustain programs and maintain our workforce, to avoid reductions in force to the very best of our ability.
