MUHA - Maintenance Program Manager - Facilities Management

Job Description Summary

The Maintenance Program Analyst (MPA) is a field-engaged, technically focused role supporting the performance, reliability, and compliance of maintenance programs across Facilities Engineering Operations and Maintenance at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) and Medical University Hospital Authority (MUHA) in the Charleston region.

This is not a desk-only position. The MPA works directly with critical building systems and infrastructure, partnering with skilled trades, contractors, and vendors in mechanical rooms, rooftops, and active equipment spaces to ensure maintenance is performed safely, effectively, and in accordance with established standards.

In this role, you will apply real-world maintenance knowledge to evaluate, verify, and improve preventive maintenance (PM) activities on HVAC, electrical, mechanical, and other essential systems. You will be hands-on in validating contractor work, troubleshooting gaps in maintenance execution, and ensuring equipment is maintained to the highest standards for safety, reliability, and compliance.

The MPA plays a key role in developing, implementing, and executing a preventative maintenance audit program that leverages field observation, technical judgment, and data analysis to improve performance, accountability, and reliability outcomes. This program identifies gaps between internal and contracted maintenance practices, uncovers deficiencies in PM execution, and drives targeted improvements across maintenance programs.
