Facilities Technician

Position Summary

The Facilities Technician helps keep our campus running smoothly by maintaining and caring for our buildings, equipment, and grounds. This role is hands-on and varies from day to day—one moment you may be completing preventative maintenance, and the next you might be helping with repairs, improving classroom spaces, or supporting campus events.

Responsibilities include inspecting and maintaining building systems, repairing lighting, furnishings, flooring, walls, and ceilings, and assisting with landscaping, irrigation, and grounds upkeep. You may also help with event setup, furniture moves, and general campus support as needed.
