• Build and manage relationships with preferred contractors, vendors, and service providers, including soliciting bids, negotiating agreements, and evaluating performance
• Develop and maintain multi-year capital improvement and asset management plans using condition data, lifecycle costs, and ROI analysis to guide investment decisions
• Maintain accurate asset records and reporting while evaluating and implementing asset management or CMMS tools to improve visibility, planning, and operational efficiency
• Partner closely with Finance, Operations, and market leadership to align maintenance, capital, and fleet priorities with business needs and travel throughout the Northeast to support company locations
