Manager, Facilities Technology
TerraPower's Real Estate and Facilities team is responsible for the design, implementation, operations, and management of TerraPower's locations. The Manager, Facilities Technology Services, owns the technology layer that makes TerraPower's physical workplaces function: visitor management, space and seating management, physical security and access control, enterprise voice and conferencing, and print and reprographics services.
This role will provide leadership and oversight for Facilities Technology services, including Audio/Visual (A/V), Microsoft Teams Rooms, access control and security systems, Microsoft Teams administration, telephone and communications technology, visitor management, space reservation, asset tracking, and related technology platforms.
The Manager, Facilities Technology will lead a team responsible for the delivery and support of TerraPower’s Facilities Technology services across several sites in the Unites States. Direct reports will include a Systems Engineer II and a Facilities Application Support Technician II. The Manager will establish priorities, assign work, provide coaching and performance management, support professional development, and ensure the team delivers reliable, secure, and high-quality technology services.
This is a working manager role. In addition to leading the team, the incumbent remains a hands-on senior practitioner: personally resolving escalated issues, standing up technology in new buildings, and providing technical direction across low-voltage hardware, IP networking, and cloud-managed SaaS platforms. The role demands genuine depth in both telecommunications and networking — applied primarily to diagnosis, specification, and coordination rather than to administration of the underlying server and network infrastructure, which is owned by Enterprise IT.
The Manager serves as a key liaison between the Real Estate and Facilities organization, Enterprise IT, Security, Construction, Project Management, and external technology vendors, and reports to the Director of Real Estate and Facilities.

Enterprise Voice, Conferencing, and Collaboration Technology
Manage the enterprise phone system within delegated administrative scope, including number assignment, user provisioning, call routing, hunt groups, emergency calling and location data, and coordination of porting activity with Enterprise IT and the carrier.
Own Microsoft Teams Phone administration at the user and device level: voice policies, calling plan assignment, device enrollment, and troubleshooting. Tenant-level policy and licensing changes are requested through Enterprise IT.
