What We Are Looking For

We need someone who does more than wait for a list of repairs.

A strong Facilities Maintenance Technician notices problems, investigates the cause, determines the appropriate solution, completes repairs within their capabilities, documents the work, and knows when outside expertise is necessary.

We value technical ability, safety, reliability, integrity, good judgment, and ownership of the work.

This is not primarily a production-machine maintenance position and is not a custodial position. The primary focus is the condition and operation of our buildings, facility systems, grounds, and physical workplace.

Growth Opportunity

This is not currently a management position. However, a Facilities Maintenance Technician who demonstrates strong technical performance, initiative, preventive-maintenance planning, project coordination, vendor management, communication, and leadership ability may have opportunities to assume greater responsibility as company needs develop.

Potential future advancement may include senior, lead, or facility management responsibilities.

If you are an experienced maintenance professional who enjoys troubleshooting problems, working with your hands, and taking ownership of the facilities you maintain, we encourage you to apply.

Less Experience? We Still Encourage You to Apply!

Candidates who are interested in facilities maintenance but do not yet meet the minimum 2 years of related hands-on experience required for the Facilities Maintenance Technician position are still encouraged to apply.

The Facilities Maintenance Worker position is designed for individuals who are dependable, ethical, hands-on, willing to perform the groundwork, and eager to learn and develop practical maintenance skills. Previous professional facilities maintenance experience is not required.

This position also provides a potential growth path as the employee develops the required experience, technical skills, troubleshooting ability, independence, and overall job competency.Advancement is based on demonstrated skills, performance, reliability, and business needs and is not automatic based solely on length of service.

Pay: $17.00 - $19.00 per hour
