Facilities Manager

Roman Catholic Bishop of San Diego • Poway, CA

10d • $70,304 • Onsite

About The Position

St. Michael’s Catholic Parish, a vibrant community of over 3,500 families with a 20-acre campus and large school, is seeking a dedicated, "hands-on" Facilities Manager. This role is the central focal point for our parish physical plant, ensuring a safe, spiritual, and welcoming environment for our parishioners, students, and staff.

As the Facilities Manager, you are more than just a maintenance lead; you are a steward of our campus. Reporting directly to the Pastoral Associate/Business Manager, the facility manager will balance technical "fix-it" tasks with high-level administrative and personnel management. You’ll oversee everything from HVAC contracts and roof repairs to setting up for the Fall Festival and ensuring liturgical supplies (like altar wine and candles) are always well stocked.

Requirements

• Mission-Driven: A deep respect for the mission of the Catholic Church and the ability to work effectively with clergy, staff, and volunteers.
• Flexibility: As an exempt position, the facility manager is expected to maintain a flexible schedule and be available on call for plant emergencies, such as fire alarms, equipment failures, power outages, etc.
• Technical Versatility: Practical knowledge of structural, mechanical, and electrical systems. You should be as comfortable with a wrench as you are with a spreadsheet.
• Self-Starter: A multi-tasker with a sense of urgency who can prioritize a long list of projects without constant supervision.
• Tech Savvy: Proficiency in computer technology, including managing livestreaming equipment and office copiers.
• Experience: At least 2 years in maintenance or a similar role; personnel management experience is preferred.

Responsibilities

• Maintenance & Operations: Including, but not limited to, managing all building systems (HVAC, plumbing, electrical, etc.), HFC A/V, other parish equipment, hard surfaces such as roads and parking and performing minor repairs across the church, school, offices, and rectory.
• Vendor & Project Management: Negotiate contracts and supervise independent contractors (landscapers, janitorial, specialty trades) to ensure quality and maintain budget compliance.
• Event Coordination: Manage permit applications, insurance requirements, and lead the setup/teardown for major parish events, such as the Fall Festival, Craft Fair, Gala, etc. You’ll even manage the livestreaming for weekend masses, funerals, and weddings.
• Compliance & Safety: Manage all property inspections and act as the primary liaison with the City of Poway (Fire/Sheriff) and manage safety programs (IIPP/Workplace Violence Prevention).
• Administrative Oversight: Assist with budget planning, handle annual property tax exemptions (Welfare Exemption), and perform minutes for the Parish Finance Council, maintain maintenance records.
• Facility Calendars: Manage and maintain primary facility online calendars, including Holy Family Center, Gymnasium and Parish Center. Ensure outside organizations using parish facilities (e.g. Scouts, KoC, parishioners) have Facility Use Agreements on file and apply for special event coverage through CMG, as applicable.
• Team Leadership & Training: As a member of the management team, you’ll be working directly with the Pastor and Pastoral Associate and Business Manager and expected to cross- train and supervise facilities staff and perform annual reviews and daily direction.
