The work you'll do is more than just a job.

At the State of Minnesota, employees play a critical role in developing policies, providing essential services, and working to improve the well-being and quality of life for all Minnesotans. The State of Minnesota is committed to equity and inclusion, and invests in employees by providing benefits, support resources, and training and development opportunities.

This posting will be used to fill two (2) vacancies

The Asset Management Coordinator exists to administer agency-wide asset management policies, standards, governance practices, and lifecycle management strategies to ensure effective stewardship of state-owned assets throughout acquisition, deployment, utilization, maintenance, replacement, transfer, and disposal activities.

The position serves as the department's subject matter expert on asset management operations, property accountability, inventory controls, compliance requirements, and asset lifecycle planning. The incumbent develops long-term strategies, performance measures, and operational standards that support fiscal stewardship, regulatory compliance, business continuity, risk management, and efficient utilization of agency resources across all metropolitan and district office locations.  This position plays a leading role in ensuring the assets of the department are secured and accounted for, and in protecting the agency from undue risk and harm which could significantly negatively impact MDH’s financial and public trust standing if not handled properly.

In accordance with HR/LR Policy #1422 Telework, this position is eligible for up to 50% telework for applicants who live in Minnesota or in a bordering state within 50 miles of the assigned work location. Candidates residing outside of Minnesota further than 50 miles of the assigned work location at the time of application must be able to relocate to Minnesota within 30 days of their start date. The telework policy may exempt employees who live more than 50 miles from their primary work location from the 50% in-office requirement, depending on job requirements, helping the State of Minnesota access top talent across the state.

MDH relies heavily on grant funding, in addition to state appropriated dollars. As an agency, we continually monitor funding levels and navigate some degree of uncertainty related to grant cycles and the impact of the grant funding on program priorities. 

This position is currently funded and approved to be filled. While the position is funded at this time, future funding is dependent on the continuation of our funding sources. The Minnesota Department of Health works proactively to sustain programs and maintain our workforce, to avoid reductions in force to the very best of our ability. In the event of a loss of funding resulting in a necessary workforce reduction, that process is governed by our collective bargaining agreements and compensation plans.
