Front Desk & Facilities Coordinator

About Standard Bots

Standard Bots is building the next generation of industrial robots -- hardware that's powerful, affordable, and designed to scale. Our Glen Cove manufacturing facility is where that product comes to life, and keeping it running smoothly -- so engineers, technicians, and manufacturing leads can focus on building robots -- is the job.

Note: This is a full-time, on-site role at our Glen Cove, NY manufacturing facility and HQ.

The Role

We're looking for a Front Desk & Facilities Coordinator to support the day-to-day operations of our factory and office. You'll be the first face people see when they walk in, the person vendors and visitors check in with, and a steady hand keeping the building, kitchen, meeting rooms, and daily rhythms running. You'll also provide administrative support to manufacturing leadership on scheduling, logistics, and coordination.

This role is hands-on and highly visible. If you're organized, dependable, and like variety in your day, you'll fit in well here.

You'll report to the Facilities Manager and partner closely with manufacturing leadership.

• Schedule and prepare meeting rooms; ensure they're clean, stocked, and AV-ready before each meeting
• Set up and clean up weekly birthday/anniversary celebrations, all-hands, and team events -- catering orders, drinks, cake, cleanup

Facility & Vendor Coordination

• Coordinate day-to-day facility services under the direction of the Facilities Manager: utilities, cleaning crew, HYAC, vendors, and coffee/vending services
• Process payments for utilities and facility vendors; track invoices and submit to finance for reconciliation
• Receive, sort, and distribute mail and packages; coordinate shipping/receiving at the loading dock
• Keep the office, kitchen, and common areas stocked -- snacks, beverages, coffee, paper goods, and office supplies

• Provide administrative support to manufacturing leadership: calendar management, scheduling, travel booking, expense reports, and ad-hoc project help
• Help coordinate small-lot purchases, vendor meet-and-greets, and visitor tours of the manufacturing area
• Keep PPE (safety glasses, gloves, ear protection) stocked and accessible to shop-floor staff

People Operations Support

• Coordinate interview logistics: room booking, candidate greeting, escorting, lunch orders, and interviewer prep
• Support new-hire onboarding: workstation setup coordination with IT, welcome kits, first-day greeting, building tour, and badge provisioning
• Assist with offboarding logistics: badge deactivation and equipment return coordination

Safety, Compliance & Facility Projects

• Keep required postings current (OSHA, labor law), first aid kits stocked, AEDs in working order, and emergency signage visible
• Support fire drills and safety walks; help compile documentation for audits when requested
• Maintain the list of approved vendors and emergency repair contacts
• Help with small office projects: seasonal décor, swag orders, desk setups, and ambiance upgrades

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years of experience as a facility administrator, office administrator, administrative assistant, receptionist, or coordinator -- ideally in a manufacturing, warehouse, lab, or similarly hands-on environment
• Comfortable juggling multiple small tasks at once and keeping track of the details
• Clear, friendly written and verbal communication -- you'll interact with everyone from technicians to leadership to external vendors
• Comfort with G Suite (Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets), Slack, and basic expense/invoice tools
• Dependable, organized, and follows through on tasks without needing constant reminders

Nice to Have

• Experience in a manufacturing, robotics, or hardware startup environment
• Familiarity with shipping/receiving workflows, PPE inventory, or facility compliance basics (OSHA postings, first aid)
• Experience supporting recruiting and interview coordination
• Basic event setup and catering coordination experience
