About The Position

Norm Reeves Dealerships is hiring a Facilities Manager to lead day-to-day facilities operations across assigned automotive dealership locations in Dallas–Fort Worth. You'll coordinate preventive and corrective maintenance, manage vendor and contractor performance, inspect sites, and keep work orders moving from request to verified completion. Dealership buildings include showrooms, service drives, service shops, parts areas, offices, and parking lots, all of which need to stay safe, functional, and presentable for customers and employees. You'll also track operating expenses, review invoices, and support capital improvement planning so leadership can make informed decisions about repairs and investments. This role fits an organized, dependable facilities professional who likes being on site, holding vendors to their commitments, and closing issues out completely. You'll work with dealership managers, service providers, contractors, and internal accounting teams. Automotive dealership experience is helpful but not required. We welcome candidates from commercial property management, retail, hospitality, multi-site operations, and facilities services. This is an on-site role with regular local travel between dealership locations throughout DFW.
