Fuligni will oversee FPM operations, which include:
- Facilities, including maintenance, custodial and grounds services

During his 29 years of service in the Navy, Fuligni held leadership roles in Naval Facilities Engineering Command, including Vice Cmdr. (Pacific Division, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, 2009-11), commanding officer (Marianas, Piti, Guam, 2007-09; Northwest, Silverdale, Washington, 2005-07) and operations officer (Pacific Division, 2002-05).
Fuligni earned his bachelor's degree in civil engineering from Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois; and a master's in environmental engineering from the University of California, Berkeley. He succeeds Dave Miller, who retired in January. Utilities services director Jeff Witt is serving as interim associate vice president.
