Operations & Maintenance Supervisor

Patient Care and Prevention Facilities (PC&PF) is fundamental to the daily operations of MD Anderson Cancer Center. This department ensures all of the hospital's facilities are safe, operational, and compliant with accreditation standards. It fosters an environment of growth and professional development by cultivating the skills necessary to oversee the vital maintenance operations needed throughout the institution. PC&PF also plays a longitudinal role for the institution in overseeing the construction of new facilities and the modernization of existing buildings through new software and monitoring initiatives. All of this makes PC&PF a vital and integral department in delivering world class cancer care to patients.

The ideal candidate has 5–7 years of experience leading maintenance operations in a healthcare facilities environment, with past roles such as Supervisor or Manager. They bring strong knowledge of hospital maintenance, including MEP systems, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and BAS. They excel at team leadership, managing projects with minimal disruptions, and creating effective preventative maintenance programs.

Must‑haves include the ability to serve as the go‑to emergency contact, lead by example, and maintain a safe, reliable care environment. Preferred qualifications include supervising 5–10 staff, familiarity with Joint Commission standards, USP 797/800, MAXIMO, and BAS platforms like Apogee or Desigo.

A highly collaborative, team‑oriented department where every employee is valued for the unique strengths they bring—regardless of title, trade, or role. While team members have defined daily responsibilities, no task is considered above or below anyone. Leadership team, including both the Director and Supervisor, actively supports and participates in daily operations to ensure shared success and a culture of mutual respect. Embrace open communication and welcome ideas that help us improve processes and enhance the quality of service we provide to our patients. Candidates who thrive in supportive, team‑first environments and are committed to continuous improvement will excel here.
