We recruit regional and multi-unit facilities managers, facilities directors, and maintenance leads for grocery, QSR, retail, car wash, and PE-backed portfolios. Phoenix-based, placing nationwide.
Roles
These are the multi-site roles we search for most. We screen for people who have actually run many doors — site count, geography, vendors, and budget — not facility size alone.

These roles stay open longer than operators expect.
The work sits where uptime, CapEx, vendor management, and regional leadership meet, so the real candidate pool is much smaller than a generic facilities posting suggests.
Strong multi-unit leaders are usually employed and not browsing job boards. Postings that read like generic maintenance management draw single-site and reactive maintenance profiles instead.
Scope decides fit: number of sites, geography and travel, reporting line, budget and vendor ownership, and whether the seat owns refrigeration, HVAC-R, EMS, or CapEx projects. We pin that down before we call anyone.
Grocery, QSR, car wash, multi-site retail, and PE-backed portfolios all compete for the same regional talent. Clear scope and a process that moves are what close them.
Process
You pay only when you hire. We work the search, not a stack of unscreened resumes.
You tell us the portfolio — site count, geography, reporting line, budget and vendor ownership, pay range — and what good looks like on day 90.
We work passive talent, not just applications, and send a short, vetted list of people who have run multi-site portfolios, not just big buildings.
We coordinate, prep both sides, and keep the process moving in days, not weeks, with weekly check-ins while the search is open.
Every placement includes a replacement guarantee of 60–180 days, depending on the role. If a hire leaves in that window, we refill the seat at no added fee.
Fees
You pay only when you hire. Fees typically run 20–25% of the new hire’s first-year base salary, due once they start. Nothing up front and no retainer on standard searches.
Every placement carries a replacement guarantee of 60 to 180 days, depending on the role. If a hire leaves in that window, we refill the seat at no added fee.
