Our Cambridge facility specializes in the design and manufacturing of neutron flux monitoring devices and in-core instrumentation systems used in nuclear power generation — products where precision, quality, and on-time delivery are mission-critical.
About the Role
The Facilities Manager is responsible for the total upkeep, reliability, and safety of the Cambridge facility, including the building infrastructure and the industrial equipment base that supports manufacturing operations. This role owns the preventive maintenance program for critical production assets (swagers, drawers, welders, ovens, pumps, vacuum systems, and related equipment), ensuring machine uptime, regulatory compliance, and a safe working environment.
