The Flavor Profile

The Facilities and Maintenance Technician supports their museum site and collaborates with Production, Construction, and Events teams in partnership with the Facilities and Maintenance Manager. You will receive deliverables from the Management Team and General Management, with responsibilities that intersect with operations and respond to the maintenance ticketing system. While much of the heavier work occurs on museum reset days, the Facilities and Maintenance Technician will actively participate in daily operations, troubleshooting smaller issues with equipment and the building. Additionally, you will assist the Facilities and Maintenance Manager in executing larger projects, repairs, and maintenance during pre-opening and post-closing shifts. This role directly reports to the on-site Facilities and Maintenance Manager.
