  • Coordinate facility-related administration such as vendor communication, service scheduling, equipment documentation, and facility spend tracking.

  • Competence with inventory management, including tracking usage, setting stock levels, cycle counting, and working with inventory/ERP software
  • Strong operational discipline and attention to detail; able to maintain clean, orderly, high-functioning spaces across multiple technical zones
  • Ability to learn new categories of materials or instruments quickly and organize them effectivelyeven without prior domain exposure
