Job Description
Caruso Ventures is building Pearl West, two connected buildings in downtown Boulder, into a hub for tech and creative innovation: the Chill House for members, offices, a venue below the plaza, and events throughout the week. Members and tenants expect the building to respond in real time. When someone needs a desk moved, a badge working or a room ready for tonight's event, it should happen that day, done by our own people.
We're hiring hands-on Building Operations Technicians to do that work every day. You'll move and set up furniture, turn rooms around for events, run cable, get screens and AV working, and handle access cards, so the people who use the building never have to wait. This role suits someone who likes physical work, takes pride in a space that looks and works right, and is happy to be the person who shows up and fixes it.
Responsibilities
Space, Moves and Setups
- Move, assemble and arrange furniture for member and tenant move-ins, move-outs and office changes
- Reset lounges, meeting rooms and common areas after use, and reconfigure spaces between daytime and event use
- Handle small repairs, signage, mounting and touch-ups, and keep the tour route looking its best
Events
- Set up and break down rooms for events: furniture, staging, AV, power and signage
- Be on site for events to manage access, fix problems on the spot and reset the space afterward
Access, Wi-Fi and AV
- Issue, update and deactivate access cards and badges, following our access policy
- Run and patch network cabling, and mount and connect Wi-Fi equipment under direction
- Install and maintain TVs, displays and conference-room screens; troubleshoot first and escalate to
specialists when needed
Building Support
- Respond to member and tenant requests the same day, and keep each request updated until it is
closed
- Walk the building daily and report or fix issues before members notice them
- Coordinate with the building engineer and outside vendors on repairs, and escort vendors on site
- Keep an inventory of furniture, AV equipment, tools and supplies
Working With the Team
- Work with the Office Manager on member and guest requests, and with the Director of Construction
and Facilities on build-out punch lists and building systems
- Write simple checklists so setups and resets run the same way every time
Preferred Qualifications
- 1 years in facilities, building maintenance, event production, hospitality operations or a similar hands-on role
- Comfortable with hand and power tools, ladders, and moving furniture and equipment, including lifting up to 50 lbs
- Comfortable using a phone or tablet for work orders, scheduling and messaging
- Helpful for at least one hire: AV, low-voltage or network experience, such as terminating cable, setting up displays or basic Wi-Fi troubleshooting
Character and Personality Traits
- Proactive; sees what needs doing and does it
- Takes pride in a clean, well-set space and in work done right the first time
- Friendly and service-minded with members, guests and tenants
- Reliable and on time, including for early and late event shifts
- Calm under pressure and able to switch quickly between tasks
