Are you eager to apply your expertise in facilities management and building operations at a school that's reshaping the future of education? At Alpha, we're not just maintaining structures—we're creating inspiring spaces where students excel academically, socially, and emotionally.

You'll be entrusted with the responsibility of keeping our campus safe, efficient, and inspiring, making a daily impact in a role that offers stability, benefits, and the opportunity to see the fruits of your labor.

• Be Part of a Revolution: Play a pivotal role in Alpha's mission to transform education.
• Relocation Assistance: Financial support is available to help you relocate to Miami and join our team.

If you're enthusiastic about creating and sustaining environments where students and staff flourish, we want to hear from you!
