5 Quick Facts About Facilities Management Jobs

5 Quick Facts About Facilities Management Jobs
 

1. Facilities Managers Orchestrate a Symphony of Building Systems

Facilities management services have far more range than just fixing leaky faucets. As a facilities manager, you'll be building systems and ensuring they all work in harmony. Your daily tasks might include:

  • Fine-tuning HVAC systems for optimal comfort and energy efficiency.
  • Coordinating maintenance schedules.
  • Determining space utilization and workplace design.

Each day brings new challenges, from troubleshooting a temperamental elevator to implementing the latest in smart building technology.

 

2. The Field Offers Stability in an Ever-Changing Job Market

In a world where job security can feel unpredictable, facilities management stands as a sturdy shelter. Here's why:

Essential Role

Every building, from hospitals to tech campuses, needs skilled facilities management.

Evolving Responsibilities

As sustainability and smart building technology gain importance, facilities managers become even more crucial.

Recession Resistant

Buildings always need maintenance, regardless of economic conditions.

While other industries may ebb and flow, facilities management remains a constant while being at the forefront of how we interact with (and respond to) our built environment.

 

3. Your Expertise Commands Competitive Compensation

In facilities management, your diverse skill set doesn't just keep buildings running smoothly—it also translates to an attractive paycheck. Let's break it down:

category026-image-000-careers-in-government
  • Median Annual Wage: $102,340 (as of May 2023, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics).
  • Even starting positions often offer salaries above the national average.
  • Many roles include performance bonuses based on efficiency improvements or cost savings.

In facilities management, your ability to juggle complex systems and solve problems on the fly isn't just valued—it's well-compensated. How's that for a concrete return on your skills investment?

5. The Role Adapts to Modern Work-Life Balance Needs

While facilities management traditionally required constant on-site presence, the field is evolving to offer more flexibility:

category026-image-002-careers-in-government
  • Remote monitoring: The Building Automation System (BAS) allows for off-site management of many functions.
  • Flexible schedules: Some organizations offer rotating shifts or compressed workweeks, both part time and full time.
  • Hybrid models: Some tasks, like planning and reporting, can often be done remotely.

However, it's important to note:

  • Emergency response may still require occasional on-site presence.
  • The level of flexibility can vary greatly depending on the employer and specific role.

Imagine a career that respects your life outside of work while still offering the excitement of hands-on problem-solving. Facilities management is working to strike that balance.
