What Is a Facility Manager?
There are many professionals who do not have the title of “facility manager,” yet their jobs include facility management tasks. For instance, interior designers, architects, office managers, engineers, and others often fill the facility manager role. So, what is a facility manager?
In both private and public sector organizations, facility managers coordinate the operational and strategic management of facilities. They vary from those involved with the day to day operations and management of facilities to those contributing to strategic planning by making high level decisions at board level within an enterprise.
Across utilities, all property sectors, property and building maintenance, communications, and other workplace services, facility managers are typically key decision makers in the areas of the provision of corporate workplaces. They are usually responsible for the delivery of performance outcomes and control the maintenance or capital spending in these areas.
Some of the tasks generally handled by facility management are
- Managing an organization’s property portfolio
- Ecologically sustainable development
- Managing maintenance and cleaning
- Waste management and recycling
- Managing workplace relations

Signage for Facility Managers
The facility manager is in charge of making sure there is consistent and informative signage inside and out of the buildings. With that in mind, here are the facility management signs North Jersey managers request most often:
- Exterior Building Signs – It is important that you have visible building identification and accessibility markers when welcoming and directing new visitors to your campus.
- Directories and Wayfinding Signs – Easy to understand directional signs are the best way to guide visitors in your facilities. We supply a broad range of building and lobby signs made with custom designs and materials or standard sizes and colors.
- Safety Signs – Whether it is OSHA-compliant labels, emergency phone number lists, or anything else, we provide local companies with signs that convey important health and safety information.
- Suite and Room Signs – You can identify your hours of operation, departments, and business name as well as your location within a facility with these markers. We can help you maintain a consistent and professional appearance throughout your campus.
We can make any signs compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to show disabled visitors to your building that they are welcome and to avoid fines and lawsuits.
