Integrative Sciences Initiative
About the Department
The Integrative Sciences Initiative’s (ISI) mission is to serve as a dynamic epicenter for interdisciplinary research, particularly in molecular biomimicry, metabolic processes in health and disease, and accelerated technologies. The initiative will be based within Woodson Hall, a new $180 million building on NC State’s North campus. Our commitment lies in furnishing our researchers with unparalleled access to state-of-the-art facilities and leading-edge expertise, thereby advancing scientific inquiry and fortifying the bridge between discovery and practical application.
The heart of ISI is to foster a transformative educational experience for all students. By launching an inventive undergraduate curriculum, we aim to enrich STEM educational opportunities with a biological perspective on chemistry, fostering a spirit of inspired inquiry and collaborative team science. By expanding students’ vision of what science can accomplish, this new curriculum will attract and inspire new students who bring a wide range of interests and who will ultimately become leaders in interdisciplinary research. The humanities, social sciences and the arts will be infused throughout the initiative.
ISI is more than an academic community; it’s a nexus that connects NC State to North Carolina and the broader world. By hosting special events and putting “science on display” at Woodson Hall, we invite the public to partake in our mission, promoting science as a shared human endeavor and encouraging collective participation in the journey of discovery.

Essential Job Duties
As the Research Facilities Manager, you will provide independent operational leadership for Woodson Hall, a $180 million interdisciplinary research facility. Reporting to the Director of Operations, you will oversee facility operations, infrastructure integrity, laboratory safety, regulatory compliance, and space logistics across specialized laboratories and shared research environments. You will establish facility operating procedures, coordinate contractors and vendors, manage space and equipment resources, and address complex facility and equipment issues. You will also enforce safety requirements and direct corrective actions to protect university assets, minimize risk, and maintain a safe, functional environment that supports research continuity.
Key Responsibilities:
Research Facility Infrastructure & Operational Governance
- Facility Operations & Leadership: Exercise primary operational authority over daily facilities operations, infrastructure integrity, and technical environment readiness across Woodson Hall’s specialized research laboratories, core facilities, and collaborative spaces.
- Technical Problem-Solving & Equipment Management: Independently analyze, diagnose, and resolve complex facility, mechanical, and specialized equipment failures, including HVAC and fume hood controls, compressed gas delivery systems, pure water systems, and environmental controls. Determine and implement corrective strategies to protect research continuity and prevent loss of biological or chemical assets and experimental data.
- Vendor & Preventative Maintenance Oversight: Evaluate, negotiate, and approve vendor scopes of work and service contracts for specialized research equipment and building systems. Determine repair, replacement, and preventative maintenance priorities, and establish equipment lifecycle plans to minimize research downtime.
- Operational Coordination & University Liaison: Serve as the designated building manager and primary liaison to university units, including Facilities Operations, Utilities & Engineering, and Housekeeping, as well as external contractors. Coordinate building access, authorize operational work, and balance competing facility requirements across research groups and departments.
Laboratory Safety, Regulatory Compliance & Risk Management
- Safety Policies & Procedures: Develop, establish, and enforce facility-specific Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) standard operating procedures, chemical and hazardous material protocols, and biosafety guidelines in accordance with federal, state, and university requirements.
- Safety Audits & Regulatory Compliance: Lead safety audits, hazard assessments, and chemical inventory compliance programs across Woodson Hall research spaces. Coordinate required inspections, fire and life-safety drills, hazard reviews, and safety training verification to ensure compliance with OSHA, EPA, DEQ, and university safety policies.
- Corrective Actions & Safety Enforcement: Exercise independent authority to mandate corrective actions, require operational modifications, or suspend non-compliant research activities until applicable safety requirements are met. Emergency Preparedness & Response: Develop and manage building emergency action plans, disaster recovery protocols, and crisis response procedures. Serve as the primary operational leader during facility emergencies, including hazardous spills, utility failures, and environmental alarms, making decisions to safeguard personnel, infrastructure, and research assets.
Strategic Space Logistics, Facility Planning & Policy Execution
- Space Allocation & Laboratory Planning: Manage space allocation and workflow planning for incoming, expanding, or transitioning research laboratories. Evaluate space, utility, structural, and equipment requirements to plan and authorize laboratory moves, space turnovers, and specialized equipment installations.
- Facility Planning & Strategic Recommendations: Evaluate long-term facility needs and infrastructure capabilities. Develop recommendations for the Director of Operations regarding capital improvements, space reconfigurations, infrastructure upgrades, and operational budget allocations to support research growth.
- Facility Documentation & Records Management: Establish and maintain facility documentation systems, including standard operating procedures, asset registries, maintenance logs, regulatory compliance certifications, warranty records, and emergency contacts. Research Community Coordination: Serve as the central operational point of contact for principal investigators, faculty, department heads, and research staff. Resolve operational conflicts and coordinate facility resources across interdisciplinary research teams.
Join NC State University and play an essential role in maintaining the infrastructure, safety, and operational readiness that enable research innovation and continuity at Woodson Hall. If you are an experienced facilities professional who can independently lead complex research facility operations, oversee laboratory safety and regulatory compliance, and make critical decisions that support a highly specialized research environment, we welcome you to apply.

Facilities Manager Jobs in North Carolina: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a facilities manager in North Carolina?
Most facilities managers in North Carolina enter through a bachelor's degree in facility management, engineering, business, or a related field, then build hands-on experience in building operations or maintenance coordination. North Carolina does not issue a state-specific facilities manager license, but the Certified Facility Manager designation from IFMA and the FMP credential are widely recognized by employers across the state. Large institutions like UNC Health and Duke Energy typically require one of these credentials for senior roles.
How much do facilities managers make in North Carolina?
Facilities managers in North Carolina earn a median of about $108,130 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $62,680 for the lowest 10% to over $171,950 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire facilities managers in North Carolina?
Employers hiring facilities managers in North Carolina right now include Wendy's, CBRE, and Wolfspeed, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. North Carolina's concentration of large university medical centers, corporate headquarters in Charlotte, and manufacturing operations in the Piedmont region means demand stays consistent across multiple employer types throughout the year.
Which North Carolina cities have the most facilities manager jobs?
Charlotte, Durham, and Raleigh have the most facilities manager openings in North Carolina. Charlotte's role as a major banking and corporate headquarters hub drives volume there, while Raleigh and Durham benefit from Research Triangle Park's dense concentration of technology firms, pharmaceutical companies, and university health systems that all maintain large, complex facilities portfolios.
Are there remote facilities manager jobs in North Carolina?
Yes, but they're rare. Facilities management is fundamentally a hands-on, on-site role that requires physical presence to oversee building systems, direct maintenance staff, and respond to operational issues. About 33% of facilities manager openings tied to North Carolina are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and those postings typically involve portfolio oversight or project management functions rather than day-to-day building operations.
How can I get hired as a facilities manager in North Carolina with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a facilities coordinator or maintenance technician role, which large North Carolina employers like UNC Health, Duke University, and Highwoods Properties use as a pipeline into management. Community colleges such as Central Piedmont and Wake Tech offer facilities operations certificates that strengthen early-career applications. Earning the FMP designation through IFMA while working in an entry-level role signals commitment and gives candidates without a four-year degree a competitive edge.
Where can I find and apply to facilities manager jobs in North Carolina?
You can find and apply to facilities manager jobs in North Carolina on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers actively hiring in the state. Find roles that fit your experience and specialty, then apply directly to each one.
