Senior Director of Facilities
Gonzaga College High School
Gonzaga College High School
Administrative Position Opening:
Senior Director of Facilities and Campus Operations
Gonzaga College High School is seeking a dynamic, experienced, full-time administrator to lead the maintenance, operational functioning and continuous improvement and enhancement of our campus and facilities.
Overview of School Campus and Community:
Gonzaga College High School is a Catholic, Jesuit all-boys High School in Washington DC. Our location, on a square city block near the US Capitol, is a defining part of the Gonzaga experience, with a campus that is unique, dense, urban and historic. Gonzaga’s campus includes St. Aloysius Church (on the national register of historic places); 9 separate buildings that house classrooms, labs, administrative offices, athletic facilities, and all school personnel and functions; a full size gymnasium, athletic field and stadium; a 300 space underground parking garage; a full commercial kitchen and cafeteria that serves 1,200 students and faculty daily; one of two Jesuit communities in Washington, DC, with 20+ residents and visitors at any given time; the Father McKenna Center, an on-campus support center for men experiencing homelessness; the oldest continually operating theater in Washington, DC; and more.
With the unique character and location of our campus come operational challenges. The school serves 950 boys and has a staff of over 120 full time personnel co-located in a tight environment and in buildings that were in some case not originally built for academic use. We offer 17 sports that include over 50 teams at various levels, but have one on-campus gym and one turf field, and so we rely extensively on off-campus fields and partners. We have a robust theater and dramatic arts program that engage not only our students, but students from other schools as well. We host events on campus associated with student clubs, parents groups, admissions, advancement, and more on a continuous basis. All of which means that Gonzaga’s campus is used hard year round, and -- combined with the age of many of our building and systems -- provides challenges in ensuring that our campus and facilities are not only maintained, but continuously and strategically improving in support of the mission of the school.
Position Description:
With all of the above in mind, Gonzaga is actively seeking an experienced Senior Director with a history of proactive leadership in facilities management and improvement. The position is a 12-month, full-time, exempt position, and will require some weekend and evening hours. Reporting to the Chief Operating Officer, the position is responsible for proactive oversight of the School’s physical campus, including maintenance, repair, and improvements of all buildings, security, grounds, utility systems, athletic facilities, vehicles, and other equipment. This role has 3 experienced and highly competent direct reports, including a Director of Operations, a Director of Maintenance, and a Director of Capital Projects; 4 additional facilities maintenance personnel reporting to those directors; and will oversee security, custodial, food services, construction and other services which are outsourced.
Essential Job Duties and Responsibilities:
PLEASE SEE THE FULL JOB DESCRIPTION AT https://gonzaga.
Application Requirements:
Interested candidates should submit a cover letter expressing their interest in the position along with a résumé via the link available at https://gonzaga.
Salary is very competitive and the total employment package consists of generous health, dental and insurance benefits; a strong Gonzaga-supported retirement plan that begins on day one of employment; free breakfast and lunch during the school year; on campus parking, and; potential eligibility for tuition remission. Application materials are being accepted now and qualified applicants will be invited to interview on a rolling basis.
Application Deadline: December 1, 2022
