About Jeffrey Castagne

With over a decade of hands-on experience in the trades and construction industry, I bring a deep-rooted understanding of building systems, project execution, and facilities operations. Over the past five years, I’ve had the privilege of leading facilities operations at Foundation Academies, where I’ve overseen a full-scale transformation of its educational infrastructure.As Director of Facilities, I’ve implemented a comprehensive preventative maintenance program that has not only increased operational efficiency but also significantly reduced emergency repairs and downtime. My approach to facilities management is rooted in proactive planning, rigorous staff training, and data-driven decision-making.By conducting detailed cost analyses, optimizing procurement, and designing scalable systems to manage construction, MEPs, and daily operations, I’ve driven measurable impact—saving the organization millions in capital and operational expenses. I’m passionate about creating safe, sustainable, and high-performing environments that support student success and organizational growth.Whether it’s modernizing outdated systems, managing large-scale renovations, or building a culture of accountability within facilities teams, I believe in delivering results with integrity, precision, and long-term value.
