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 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.
Ensure all facilities meet applicable codes, safety standards, and regulatory requirements through regular assessments, inspections, and coordination with regulatory agencies.
Develop and deliver comprehensive reports, presentations, and documentation to communicate program status, operational impacts, and project outcomes to stakeholders.
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 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.
