Facilities management recruiters for the sites where downtime has a price — manufacturing campuses, gigafactories, launch and test sites, semiconductor and battery plants, data centers, and cleanroom and GMP space. iRecruit.co recruits the facilities leaders, engineers, and technicians who keep those environments running, facilities technician to facilities director, and screens every one of them against PM completion, CMMS discipline, vendor control, and uptime history.
Corporate facilities management is a mature staffing market — space planning, workplace services, janitorial and reception contracts. That is not this practice. iRecruit.co’s facilities management recruiters work the industrial side: sites with process utilities, medium-voltage distribution, compressed air and process gas, chillers and cooling towers, controlled environments, and an uptime commitment behind every work order. The practice sits alongside the manufacturing, data center construction, and MEP and HVAC practices, draws on the same engineering and trades network, and is assembling candidate density across industrial facilities roles ahead of demand.
Automotive, battery, and EV campuses, discrete and process plants, and the multi-building sites where facilities owns the utilities backbone the production schedule depends on — switchgear, compressed air, process water, HVAC for controlled space, and the CMMS that proves it all gets maintained.
Critical facilities managers, engineers, and technicians for live data halls — UPS and generator plants, N+1 and 2N topologies, MOP and change-control discipline, and the uptime record that separates a data center facilities manager from a building engineer with a data center on the resume.
Fab and pharmaceutical environments where facilities means particle counts, pressurization cascades, process gas and chemical delivery, and validation paperwork that survives an audit. Screening covers cGMP, ISO 14644, and abatement exposure — not square footage.
Engine and rocket test stands, propellant and high-pressure gas systems, range and hangar complexes, and munitions and energetics plants — facilities work with a safety envelope most building engineers have never operated inside. Screening covers hazardous-systems background and permit-to-work discipline.
Every candidate is screened against four things a resume cannot fake: PM completion rate and backlog trend under their ownership, CMMS command — Maximo, SAP PM, eMaint, Fiix — with the data to show for it, vendor and contract control with real budget authority, and uptime history with the incidents named.
Maintenance managers, reliability engineers, and EHS managers sit in the same org chart as facilities and appear in the same searches. iRecruit.co recruits them under this practice, alongside plant leadership in the manufacturing practice and the engineers in the MEP and HVAC practice.
Every title links to a dedicated hiring page. Most industrial sites hire facilities in layers — a director or manager who owns the budget and the vendors, engineers who own the systems, supervisors who own the shifts, and technicians who own the work orders. All of it is direct hire. Contract facilities staffing is a separate track; ask us.
Owns the site’s building systems, the maintenance budget, and the vendor bench — the hire that turns a work-order backlog into a planned program.
Runs day-to-day facilities operations across shifts and buildings — staffing, PM scheduling, contractor coordination, and the escalation path when a system trips.
Campus or multi-site leadership — capital planning, utility contracts, outsourcing decisions, and the facilities line on the operating budget.
Mechanical, electrical, or controls depth on the site’s infrastructure — root cause on chronic failures, upgrade design, and the engineering behind every PM interval.
Front-line leadership of technicians and contractors — shift coverage, safety, work-order quality, and the CMMS discipline that keeps PM completion honest.
Multi-craft hands on HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical systems — the direct-hire technicians who carry the PM program and the callouts.
Work-order intake, vendor scheduling, permits, and CMMS data hygiene — the role that keeps a facilities team measurable.
Owns plant and equipment maintenance — planners, crafts, spares strategy, and the shift from reactive to planned work.
Leads operations in live environments where a trip is an outage — UPS and generator plants, switchgear, cooling, MOPs, and change control.
Electrical and mechanical engineering for mission-critical plant — capacity, redundancy, commissioning support, and incident root cause.
Runs the data hall’s mechanical and electrical operations against an uptime SLA — vendor SLAs, EOPs, and customer-facing incident reporting.
Critical-environment technicians for rounds, PMs, and event response on UPS, generators, CRAHs, and switchgear.
FMEA, RCM, condition monitoring, and the asset strategy that moves a site’s MTBF — the engineering layer above the CMMS.
Environmental, health, and safety leadership for industrial sites — permits, LOTO, contractor safety, and the compliance record auditors ask for first.
Whichever model fits your site, every engagement runs the same way — clear scope up front, verified candidates, and ownership of the process through offer and start.
30 minutes with a practice lead. We map the roles, the systems they will own, and the reporting line against your uptime commitments — and quote a concrete proposal, with pricing, within 48 hours.
A dedicated recruiter runs intake with your hiring manager and calibrates on the first candidates. First screened shortlist typically within 2 weeks.
Every candidate screened on PM completion, CMMS ownership, vendor and budget control, and uptime history — with environment-specific checks layered on and references who watched them run the plant.
Offers structured for the market — shift and on-call expectations, relocation and counter-offer math, notice-period management — and a replacement guarantee on every placement. Placement in 3–4 weeks is typical.

The practice is defined by the environment, not the title. If the site has an uptime commitment and a utilities plant behind it, the facilities roles belong here. iRecruit.co is building its facilities network across these environments ahead of demand.

For industrial and mission-critical facilities roles, iRecruit.co is built for the work: an industrial-only practice covering facilities technician through facilities director, screening on PM completion, CMMS ownership, vendor control, and uptime history, with published pricing and a replacement guarantee on every placement. The honest caveat is scope. If you are hiring for corporate office facilities — space planning, workplace services, reception and janitorial contracts — generalist recruiters and the in-house talent teams at the large FM outsourcing providers are usually the better fit, and we will say so on the scoping call. The best facilities management recruiters for your search are the ones who have screened people who ran your class of plant.
Fees follow the engagement model, and they are published. Direct-hire recruiting support for facilities managers, engineers, supervisors, and technicians runs at a 20% success fee. Retained executive search for facilities directors and multi-site leaders runs at 30% of first-year compensation. RPO for site standups and multi-role facilities builds starts from a $15k service fee with volume-based placement pricing. Embedded recruiting runs on a monthly volume-based fee plus a reduced success fee. Every placement carries a replacement guarantee, whichever model you choose.
A screened shortlist typically lands within 2 weeks of the scoping call, and placements close in 3 to 4 weeks on most facilities searches. Director-level and critical-facilities roles with a narrow candidate pool can run longer; technician and coordinator searches often run faster. The pacing item is usually your interview loop, so we map it on the scoping call.
Yes to technicians and supervisors. Facilities technicians, data center facilities technicians, facilities supervisors, and facilities coordinators are recruited on a direct-hire basis under the same practice as managers and directors, with the same screening. Contract and temp-to-hire facilities staffing is a separate track with its own pricing — ask us on the scoping call and we will tell you whether it fits your site.
Industrial and mission-critical. Manufacturing campuses and process plants, gigafactories and battery plants, semiconductor fabs, data centers and critical facilities, launch, test, and energetics sites, cleanroom and GMP pharmaceutical space, and the power and process utility plants that serve them. iRecruit.co is assembling candidate density across those environments ahead of demand. Corporate office, retail, and residential facilities management are outside the practice.
Four things, every candidate. PM completion: what the preventive maintenance completion rate and backlog trend were under them, and what they changed. CMMS: which system they ran — Maximo, SAP PM, eMaint, Fiix, or another — and whether they owned the data or just logged into it. Vendor control: the contracts they held, the budget authority behind them, and how they handled service-level failures. Uptime history: incidents on their watch, named and explained, with references who were there. Environment-specific checks layer on top — MOP and change control for critical facilities, cGMP and ISO 14644 exposure for controlled space.
30-minute scoping call. We map the roles, the systems, the environment, and the engagement model that fits your site — and quote a concrete proposal within 48 hours.
