Administrative services managers typically work full time. They may have to work overtime as well. Some facilities managers are on call during non-work hours to deal with problems that come up.

The day-to-day duties of an administrative services manager vary depending on the organization. They may include:

• Participating in long-range planning and the development of departmental and divisional goals, strategic plans, and objectives
• Overseeing staff development, training programs, policy development, and special projects
• Assisting senior leaders and participating and/or leading small administrative projects
• Creating, maintaining, and overseeing the coordination and documentation of training programs for employees
• Analyzing contract-related documents to ensure compliance with regulations and guidelines
• Representing the organization at meetings for conferences
• Drafting and editing communications for the executive team
