About Primer

Fixing our K-12 education system is a civilizationally-important problem. We believe that all of our problems — including the ones that dominate the headlines — are downstream of education.

We have a simple thesis on how to solve it: empower 1,000's of educators to launch microschools in their communities.

We believe the historical tradeoff between price (tuition) and quality is a false dichotomy.

PrimerOS automates and eliminates much of the costs of traditional schools. Microschools have a structural advantage — asset-light real estate — which means much lower capex and opex. You put it together, and you get something that's never existed before: a world-class education that's accessible to normal American families and can rapidly scale.

About the Role

Primer is seeking a Facilities Coordinator to support day-to-day operations across our five San Antonio campuses and one Phoenix-area campus. This execution-focused role serves as the primary coordinator for maintenance, vendor scheduling, inspections, and facilities administration. You'll be a key operational partner to campus leaders and HQ teams, ensuring facilities issues are resolved quickly and campuses remain safe, functional, and up to our quality standards.

This is a coordination and operations role, not a maintenance technician position—repairs and trade work are conducted by third-party vendors.

Responsibilities

• Serve as first point of contact for campus-level facilities issues; intake, prioritize, and track maintenance and repair requests through our ticketing platform

• Coordinate routine, preventive, and reactive maintenance (HVAC, electrical, plumbing, general repairs) and support minor campus improvements, furniture moves, and space reconfigurations

• Schedule and coordinate third-party vendors and service providers, including requesting and comparing quotes and verifying completion and quality of work

• Maintain vendor documentation, including W-9s, insurance certificates, and service agreements

• Schedule and complete local inspections and walkthroughs (fire, health, licensing, landlord); track inspection findings, corrective actions, and follow-up items

• Ensure required safety equipment, signage, and documentation are in place and maintained, including proactive maintenance of HVAC, fire riser, fire extinguisher, and AED systems

• Maintain appropriate ticket resolution times and submit purchase requests, work orders, and facilities-related invoices in partnership with Accounts Payable

• Maintain organized records for service logs, warranties, permits, and equipment; support standardization of facilities workflows as Primer scales

• Conduct pre-launch inspections for new campuses alongside General Managers and Real Estate teams, evaluating facilities against compliance standards

• Provide on-site coordination support during new campus launches, including arranging movers, receiving deliveries, and assisting campus staff

What we're looking for

• Prior experience in facilities management, property management, or operations within an educational, healthcare, or highly-regulated environment

• Familiarity with or willingness to learn facility compliance with municipal rules and regulations (e.g., preparing for city health inspections, renewing certificates of use)

• Based in the San Antonio area with consistent access to a vehicle and valid driver's license; role requires frequent commutes between San Antonio campuses and quarterly visits to Phoenix

• Comfortable working in active K–8 school environments with regular on-campus presence during school hours, including professional interactions around students

• Ability to safely conduct light lifting activities (<20 pounds) and support occasional physical tasks such as relocating packages or furniture

Why this role may not be a fit

• If you're seeking a hands-on maintenance or trade work position—this role coordinates third-party technicians rather than performing repairs directly

• If you prefer a remote or primarily desk-based role—this position requires frequent on-site presence across multiple campuses and regular travel within San Antonio

• If you're uncomfortable working in active school environments with children present throughout the workday

• If you don't have reliable transportation or flexibility to travel between campuses on short notice

• If you prefer specialized focus over variety—this role requires juggling multiple priorities across vendor management, compliance, and operational support
