About The Position

The Budd Group, a leading Integrated Facilities Management (IFM) pioneer, is seeking an energetic, proactive, and highly communicative Facility Director to oversee one of Virginia’s premier historic boarding schools. Come build a community with us. At this premier, historic 100+ year-old college preparatory boarding school, you will be more than an operations partner—you will be an essential pillar of the campus community. As our Facilities Director, you will serve as the primary point of contact for school leadership, ensuring the campus looks immaculate and operates seamlessly. You will lead, mentor, and inspire a team of approximately 20 dedicated professionals across janitorial, landscaping, and maintenance operations with two supervisors.

Strong background in general facility maintenance (HVAC, boilers, plumbing, or electrical)
Outstanding communication and relationship-building skills
Proven supervisory experience managing diverse teams.
A solid technical understanding of facility maintenance (HVAC or boiler knowledge highly preferred).
Exceptional communication skills—you believe in "over-communicating" so your client and team are always aligned.
A desire to be active and visible on campus—this is a walking, engaging leadership role, not a desk job.
Local proximity to the Lynchburg area to handle campus operational needs.
