Today we support ~11,000 employees across a 5.5 million square foot portfolio of 80+ sites (90% U.S.). By the end of 2027 we will grow to ~18,000 employees and more than 10 million square feet; longer-term we are on a trajectory toward 50,000+ employees and over 20 million square feet.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
- 15+ years of progressive facilities, engineering, or technical operations leadership experience, with significant multi-site and global (or large regional) responsibility.

Tips for Your Assistant Director of Facilities Job Search
Quantify your capital project outcomes
Hiring managers want to see project scope and delivery results. Rewrite your resume bullets to include budget size, square footage managed, and whether projects came in on time, so reviewers can immediately gauge your scale of experience.
Highlight certifications on your resume header
Credentials like CFM, CEFP, or LEED AP are screened at the resume-review stage before anyone reads your work history. Place them directly under your name so they're visible at a glance, not buried in a separate section.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists assistant director of facilities openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Filter openings by institution type
Facilities operations in a university setting differ significantly from those in a hospital system or corporate campus. Target postings in the sector where most of your experience lives so your resume context matches the employer's daily reality.
Prepare a deferred maintenance scenario answer
Interviewers in this field almost always ask how you've handled aging infrastructure with limited budget. Walk through a specific situation where you triaged competing repair needs, explaining how you prioritized and what you communicated upward.
Negotiate scope alongside compensation
Before accepting an offer, clarify staff headcount, direct reports, and capital budget authority. These details define the actual weight of the role and affect your ability to perform, so they belong in the offer conversation, not your first week on the job.
