George Martynick, Jr.<\/p><\/div>\n

Chester County Commissioners Josh Maxwell, Marian Moskowitz, and Eric Roe announce the appointment of George Martynick, Jr. as Director of the Chester County Facilities Department. Martynick has been serving as Acting Director since October 2023, following the retirement of former Director Jan Bowers.<\/p>\n

Chester County Commissioners\u2019 Chair Josh Maxwell said, \u201cDuring his time as Acting Director, George has taken on responsibility for the County\u2019s full range of facilities, from our buildings, large and small, to the maintenance of our parks and trails. His project management and budgeting skills will serve him well in this role, and he holds important sustainable and safety credentials that are essential to leading a facilities department.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Facilities Director, Martynick will oversee the department\u2019s staff and contractors, and will be responsible for the management, operations, maintenance, repairs, and capital improvements of the County\u2019s buildings and parking facilities.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn this role, George is on the frontline of meeting the goals of our County\u2019s Climate Action Plan, which pledges to reduce by 80 percent the greenhouse gas emissions in County-owned buildings by the year 2050,\u201d said Commissioner Moskowitz. \u201cGeorge is tasked with finding ways to make our buildings more energy efficient, incorporating sustainable design, and transitioning to renewable energy. It\u2019s a tall order, but one we know George can assume.\u201d<\/p>\n

George joins Chester County following a career of 30-plus years with the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission, where he began as an Emergency Response Worker before moving to the position of Facilities Analyst, and finally Regional Facility Manager for the Department of Facilities and Energy Management.\u00a0 There, he managed operations for over 80 properties with an appraised value of $250 million.<\/p>\n

Commissioner Eric Roe said, \u201cA facilities director must understand and oversee all sorts of systems \u2013 mechanical, electrical, plumbing, elevator, and HVAC \u2013 trades, and building codes. George has this diverse knowledge and experience, and we are fortunate to have him on the County team in such an important role.\u201d<\/p>\n

Martynick holds professional memberships to the PA Facility Managers Association, the Professional Facility Management Institute and the Green Building Council.\u00a0 He lives in West Goshen and has been active in the Boy Scouts of America organization for 45 years, and currently serves as a Scoutmaster.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
