The Opportunity

As a Facilities Intern – Asset Management & Operations, you'll gain valuable, real-world experience in facilities management, equipment reliability, and digital asset management while supporting a high-impact initiative alongside Neogen's Facilities Leadership team. This is an exciting opportunity to help transform how critical facility equipment and maintenance information is organized, accessed, and managed. You'll play an active role in developing a comprehensive digital asset management system for Building #1 using Eptura, Neogen's computerized maintenance management system (CMMS). From organizing equipment records and digitizing technical documentation to developing preventive maintenance plans, your contributions will help improve operational efficiency, strengthen equipment reliability, and establish standards that could be implemented across multiple Neogen locations.

What You'll Do

Transform Asset Management: Partner with Facilities Leadership to review, organize, and standardize equipment hierarchies in Eptura, creating a clear and consistent structure for facility assets.

Bring Technical Documentation into the Digital World: Organize, index, and digitize equipment manuals, engineering drawings, schematics, and other critical technical documents for convenient access.

Build Comprehensive Equipment Profiles: Develop detailed digital records for HVAC, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and utility systems, incorporating manufacturer specifications and equipment information.

Support Preventive Maintenance Excellence: Translate original equipment manufacturer (OEM) guidelines into clear, step-by-step preventive maintenance (PM) checklists and digital work plans.

Improve Spare Parts Accessibility: Develop equipment-specific Bills of Materials (BOMs) within Eptura to support maintenance planning, inventory visibility, and equipment servicing.

Connect Critical Information: Link technical manuals, drawings, maintenance procedures, and spare parts information directly to equipment records for easy access from mobile devices and desktops.

Drive Process Standardization: Help establish consistent asset documentation and data-entry procedures that improve accuracy, efficiency, and long-term system reliability.

Support Cross-Facility Collaboration: Work with Facilities Leadership to develop standardized processes and onboarding templates that could support future implementation across other Neogen locations.

Measure and Communicate Progress: Track project milestones, monitor completion metrics, and share updates and recommendations with the Facilities Leadership team.
