Senior Director of Facilities

Senior Director of Facilities & Logistics – Philadelphia, PA

Lunova Group is partnering with a growing industrial organization in the Philadelphia, PA area to identify a Senior Director of Facilities & Logistics. This newly created executive leadership role is an opportunity to build and lead the facilities function for a large industrial campus while helping shape the company's long-term growth strategy. Relocation assistance is available for qualified candidates.

This is more than a traditional facilities management position. You'll oversee the day-to-day performance of facilities and infrastructure while leading major capital projects, facility expansions, renovations, logistics initiatives, and long-range planning.

Reporting directly to the COO, you'll have the opportunity to build processes, develop KPIs, lead a high-performing team, and influence the future direction of the organization.

Why Join the Team?

This organization is investing heavily in its facilities and infrastructure to support continued growth. As a member of the executive leadership team, you'll have the autonomy to develop long-term strategy, lead significant capital investments, and build the systems needed to support an expanding operation.

If you're energized by improving complex industrial environments, leading large-scale construction and expansion projects, and building high-performing teams, this is an opportunity to make a lasting impact.

About the Role

The Senior Director of Facilities & Logistics will provide strategic leadership for all facilities, maintenance, infrastructure, logistics, and capital improvement initiatives across the organization. This role combines executive-level planning with hands-on oversight of major construction projects, facility upgrades, contractor management, and operational excellence.

You'll oversee an established facilities organization while partnering closely with Operations, Supply Chain, Finance, Safety, HR, and executive leadership to ensure facilities are positioned to support future business growth.
