The budget confinements surrounding the staff and support.
Facilities Manager:
Make sure that you have the proper support staff in place or have the funds available to hire staff in key positions. Ie: Maintenance, Janitorial, and Porter. If they are not willing to hire support staff, make sure you are compensated for taking on additional roles. If you are salary, incorporate a compensation pay scale for work performed after hours, off shift and on days you are scheduled off. If you are expected to be on-call, ask that they supply the cell phone. Get a clear scope of work and clear job description of the position before agreeing to the contract. Make sure that your future colleagues understand your position and your role on the management team.
