[Hiring] Facilities Lead & Construction Project Coordinator @Somewhere

Role Description

We are seeking a proactive, detail-driven Facilities Lead & Construction Project Coordinator to manage our repairs, maintenance (R&M), and preventive maintenance programs across all locations, while supporting capital improvement and store buildout projects. This is a dynamic, high-ownership role. You will handle the day-to-day operational execution of keeping our restaurants running smoothly—sourcing vendor quotes, coordinating scheduled maintenance, managing repair tickets, and ensuring work is verified by on-site General Managers (GMs).

In addition, you will work directly alongside leadership on construction, renovation, and equipment upgrade projects (e.g., kitchen line overhauls, sound system upgrades, facility refreshes, and store closures/installations). If you have a strong background in facilities coordination, vendor management, and basic construction project management, this role offers high impact and long-term career growth as our footprint expands.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience in facilities coordination, repairs & maintenance management, or vendor dispatch (experience in restaurants, hospitality, retail, or multi-unit commercial real estate is strongly preferred).
• Proven understanding of basic construction management, blueprint/scope reading, contractor management, and project scheduling.
• Strong experience reaching out to contractors, evaluating technical scopes, comparing bids, and managing vendor accounts.
• Exceptional organizational habits. You don't let vendor tickets stall and always verify that work was completed to standard.
• Excellent written and spoken English, with the clarity and professionalism needed to speak with vendors, contractors, equipment suppliers, and restaurant GMs daily.

Requirements

• Comfort using modern ticketing/facilities platforms (e.g., ServiceChannel, MaintainX, ResQ, or similar CRM/project tools like Asana, ClickUp, or Monday.com).
• Proficiency in Google Workspace / MS Office (Excel/Sheets for budget and quote comparisons).
• Resourceful problem-solver who can navigate emergency vendor calls and keep calm under operational pressure.

Company Description

We are a growing hospitality group operating vibrant, high-volume restaurants across major U.S. markets—currently managing 2 locations in New York, 2 locations in Texas, and 2 new locations currently in development.
