Description
We currently have an opening for a Workplace Resources, Sr Staff at Synopsys.
You have spent years making office environments actually work, not just look good in a facilities plan. You know that the difference between a site that hums and one that drains productivity is in the details: the HVAC system that was spec'd wrong, the move that got scheduled during a critical product deadline, the vendor who needs managing before they become a problem. You think in systems, not tickets. When someone says "the data center is down," you are already three steps ahead, diagnosing root cause and calling the right people.
Responsibilities
- Manage ongoing facilities projects across multiple Americas offices, from site selection and design review through construction oversight and final delivery
- Review and estimate costs for design work, equipment procurement, installation labor, materials, site preparation, and all associated project expenses
- Inspect construction and installation progress against drawings, specifications, schedules, and code requirements to ensure conformance and quality
- Maintain day-to-day operations by coordinating moves, adds, changes, office services, and mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems across your portfolio of sites
- Oversee outside contractors and vendors, ensuring work quality, schedule adherence, and alignment with Synopsys standards and safety protocols
- Prepare and manage operating expense budgets, track expenditures, analyze variances, and recommend capital investments to support site and business objectives
- Provide regular project and operational updates to management, flagging risks early and proposing solutions with supporting data
The Impact You Will Have
- Enable uninterrupted engineering work across some of Synopsys's largest field offices by keeping critical systems running and projects on track
- Deliver high-quality, cost-effective facilities services that allow technical teams to focus on silicon innovation, not building issues
- Reduce operational risk and downtime by proactively maintaining MEP systems, data center environments, and office infrastructure
- Improve facilities asset efficiency and lifecycle performance through disciplined program management and continuous improvement
- Build strong vendor and contractor relationships that translate into better pricing, faster response times, and higher-quality outcomes
- Support business growth and site expansion by managing site selection, buildouts, and office reconfigurations that align with headcount and strategic plans
- Mentor junior facilities team members by modeling sound judgment, technical rigor, and a bias toward solving problems before they escalate
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree with 5 to 7+ years of facilities management, project management, or corporate workplace operations experience
- Demonstrated project management experience in a corporate or high-tech environment, ideally managing multiple concurrent projects across distributed sites
- Working knowledge of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, including troubleshooting, vendor management, and compliance with applicable codes
- Experience preparing and managing budgets, analyzing cost variances, and making data-driven recommendations on capital and operating expenses
- Proficiency with Excel for budget tracking and analysis, PowerPoint for stakeholder updates, and Microsoft Word for documentation and reporting
