The work you'll do is more than just a job.
At the State of Minnesota, employees play a critical role in developing policies, providing essential services, and working to improve the well-being and quality of life for all Minnesotans. The State of Minnesota is committed to equity and inclusion, and invests in employees by providing benefits, support resources, and training and development opportunities.
Join our mission-driven team in the Facilities Management (FaM) Division where your expertise contributes to protecting, maintaining and improving the health of all Minnesotans!
The purpose of this position is to administer requests from customers for all manner of services provided by the Facilities Management division, and to document and track these requests in the most transparent and accountable way possible. This position also supports division leadership in the planning and development of new space and existing space at MDH to support the leasing strategy and needs of the agency, and to provide coordination and implementation of agency moves/adds/changes related to space allocation within MDH facilities. The position participates in division wide strategic planning, develops and documents data content for internal (Facilities Management) and external (agency) use on the division's SharePoint site, and produces various reports on facilities data to the division's leadership team.
MDH relies heavily on grant funding, in addition to state appropriated dollars. As an agency, we continually monitor funding levels and navigate some degree of uncertainty related to grant cycles and the impact of the grant funding on program priorities.
This position is currently funded and approved to be filled. While the position is funded at this time, future funding is dependent on the continuation of our funding sources. 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. In the event of a loss of funding resulting in a necessary workforce reduction, that process is governed by our collective bargaining agreements and compensation plans.
