AVAILABLE BEFORE 10/9/2026
JOB REQUIREMENTS: Build Skills. Build Confidence. Build Something That

Matters. At the Center for Veterans Issues, Inc. (CVI), we believe

meaningful work can do more than repair a buildingit can help rebuild

confidence, create connection, and give Veterans a renewed sense of

accomplishment. We\'re looking for a hands-on, skilled, patient, and

safety-minded Maintenance Assistant / Woodshop Instructor who wants to

put their talents to work for a mission that matters. This unique

position is approximately 50% facilities maintenance and 50% woodshop

instruction. One day you may be completing repairs or helping turn over

an apartment for a Veteran moving into housing. The next, you may be

teaching a Veteran how to safely operate a saw, build a woodworking

project, or discover a skill they never knew they had. If you know your

way around tools, enjoy teaching others, and believe that dignity and

purpose can be built one project at a time, we want to meet you.The

Person We\'re Looking For You don\'t just know how to build thingsyou

enjoy helping other people discover that they can build something, too.

You take pride in quality workmanship. You know when to teach, when to

encourage, when to step in for safety, and when a job requires expertise

beyond your authorization. You can establish clear expectations while

treating every Veteran with dignity and respect. Most importantly, you

understand that sometimes a woodworking project is more than a

woodworking project. It can be a chance to learn something new,

reconnect with others, experience success, and say, \"I made that.\"What

You\'ll Do Keep Our Veterans\' Homes Safe & Strong Complete repairs,

preventive maintenance, inspections, work orders, and facility projects.

Assist with apartment and residential room turnovers. Perform painting,

carpentry, minor plumbing and electrical work, landscaping, and general

facility upkeep. Identify and promptly address safety hazards and

maintenance concerns. Track and complete work orders using Buildium.

Maintain tools, equipment, vehicles, and work areas with pride.

Participate in emergency and on-call maintenance coverage as assigned.

Bring the Woodshop to Life Develop and lead engaging woodworking classes

for Veterans of varying experience and ability levels. Teach the safe

use of hand tools, power tools, stationary equipment, materials,

finishes, and basic woodworking techniques. Create individual and group

projects that build practical skills, creativity, teamwork,

problem-solving, and confidence. Provide clear demonstrations and

patient, hands-on coaching. Use Veteran-centered, trauma-informed

approaches that emphasize dignity, choice, strengths, and achievement.

Ensure every participant completes safety orientation and demonstrates

competency before independently operating equipment. Find meaningful

ways to showcase completed projects and celebrate Veteran achievement.
