Job description

Axiom Custom Products is a custom manufacturer and designer servicing the creative, events, retail, and construction industries. We blend old and new manufacturing technologies with decades of experience to deliver unmatched quality.
We’re Hiring: Head of Facilities
Behind every smooth-running operation is someone who keeps the lights on, the equipment humming, and the environment safe and efficient. That someone could be you.
We’re looking for a Head of Facilities who isn’t afraid to roll up their sleeves and take ownership of everything from building systems to manufacturing infrastructure. With over five years of experience in a similar role, you're no stranger to the inner workings of a busy shop, you know what it takes to keep things running, and you do it with confidence and care.
You’ll be the go-to person for maintaining and repairing equipment, coordinating with vendors, and ensuring that every piece of our shop is functioning just as it should. Your understanding of safety standards, whether it’s OSHA, local, or state requirements, means you’ve not only worked within regulations but have taken pride in building and maintaining programs that keep people safe.
But you’re more than just technically skilled. You’re proactive, organized, a clear communicator, and comfortable using maintenance software to keep everything documented and on track. Whether you're leading a small team or running a project from the ground up, you bring structure, energy, and follow-through.
You thrive in fast-paced environments where no two days are exactly the same. Challenges don’t rattle you, they motivate you. And while you can take charge when needed, you’re also a true collaborator and mentor who knows the value of teamwork.
This is more than a maintenance role, it’s a chance to make a lasting impact on the people, processes, and spaces that power our company. If you're ready to bring your expertise to a place where it will be noticed and valued, we’d love to hear from you.
How We Work
Our 75,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility is a dynamic and ever-changing environment where adaptability is key. Our team operates collaboratively and we expect all team members to be proactive problem-solvers. The role requires being on-site in a shop environment with exposure to a wide range of tools, machinery, and processes, with a strong emphasis on safety best practices.
The Role
In this role, you will be the single point of ownership for everything that keeps our buildings and shop running. Your job will be to:
  • Oversee Building Operations & Security: Manage all daily building operations, maintenance, repairs, and utilities. This includes serving as the primary contact for our landlord, and managing all security, access control, and waste management systems
  • Maintain Shop Equipment & Infrastructure (Heavy Focus): Take full ownership of all production equipment, machinery, and shop systems, from CNC routers and lasers to our compressed air and dust collection systems down to hand tools. You’ll develop and track preventive maintenance schedules, perform inspections, and coordinate repairs to minimize downtime
  • Lead Safety & Regulatory Compliance: Serve as the company's lead for all EHS (Environmental, Health, and Safety) efforts. You’ll ensure compliance with OSHA and all local, state, and insurance requirements, manage safety programs, training, and emergency preparedness
  • Manage the Facilities Team & Projects: Lead and mentor a two person team. You’ll plan, prioritize, and supervise all facilities-related projects, ensuring they are completed on schedule and with minimal disruption to the shop
  • Manage Vendors: Oversee all facility-related vendor relationships and service contracts. You’ll be responsible for purchasing specialty equipment, tooling, consumables, and contractor services
  • Oversee Fleet Management: Maintain our company vehicles and trailers, including service schedules, repairs, and insurance documentation. You'll also be responsible for managing driver training and approvals

The Equipment
Thermwood 3-axis routers, Royce 5-axis router, Kuka 7-axis robot, Amada press brake, Kern laser, powder coat spray booth and oven, paint booths, solvent recycler, compressors, vacuum former, edge-bander, dowel maker, casework clamp, drill press, jointer, table saw, overhead sander, forklifts, fleet vans + trailer, lighting, circuits, breakers, and beyond.
The Reward
We pay excellent salaries and our team enjoys great benefits, including medical, dental, vision with options for dependents. We offer 401k and ROTH investment options as well as an employee assistance program. After year one you accrue 20 days of PTO, yep, your read that right.
