^{Job Summary}

<sup>Foxborough Regional Charter School (FRCS) is seeking a hands-on, highly organized Facilities Manager to lead daily facilities operations across a three-building, 50-acre campus totaling more than 100,000 square feet and serving approximately 1,500 students and 230 staff. This role supervises and works alongside a five-person facilities team (including the manager) to ensure our buildings and grounds are safe, clean, welcoming, and fully operational every day.

FRCS uses an external evening cleaning contractor. Snow and ice operations are handled in-house, which means this position requires flexibility for early mornings, evenings, weekends, and weather-related response.</sup>
