Capital III•Wichita, KS

About The Position

Capital III is seeking an experienced Property & Facilities leader to establish and lead a newly created Property & Facilities function responsible for a multi-site portfolio and long-term stewardship strategy. This role carries full accountability for the operational performance, capital planning influence, vendor ecosystem, and facilities strategy across Capital III’s portfolio, including a 28-acre headquarters campus in Wichita and three additional facilities in Hutchinson, Kansas. This leader will not inherit a fully defined system—they will build it. Reporting directly to the Chief Integrator, this role will define the operating model, establish standards, build the preventive maintenance strategy, lead vendor governance, oversee capital planning in partnership with Finance, and recruit and develop the initial Facilities Technician team that will support the function moving forward. This is a rare opportunity for a facilities leader who wants to build, shape, and lead a function—not simply manage existing operations.

3+ years leading direct reports
Experience managing multiple locations and facility portfolios
Budget ownership and capital project management experience
Demonstrated success managing outsourced vendor relationships and contracts
Working knowledge of HVAC, plumbing, electrical, construction, and building systems
Experience creating or significantly improving preventive maintenance programs
Strong communication skills with the ability to engage technicians, vendors, tenants, and executive leaders
Valid driver’s license and ability to travel regularly between Wichita and Hutchinson
