As a Facility Manager, a large part of your responsibilities will be focused on the HVAC, electrical, and plumbing systems of the building. The interviewer wants to know your expertise level performing this type of work. Share your experience and any certifications you have attained pertaining to these specialties.

I've worked on all those systems and troubleshot all those systems. Basic safety concerns with each are HVAC refrigerant types, electrical depends on the voltage being worked at, plumbing depends on the pressure system type and I'm going to pick fire safety systems, where you have fault sensor heads or the fire suppression system doesn't work.

This is a great answer, but you may wish to also include areas that you're still working to develop or hoping to learn more about.
Prepare for complex operational scenarios and technical questions that facilities interviewers expect.
