Maintenance Technician (part-time)

Overview
Join a small, diverse team overseeing the facilities of a historic Lancaster City church. Saint James Episcopal Church has been on the corner of Duke and Orange Streets in the heart of downtown Lancaster for more than 275 years. Our historic two-acre campus includes five buildings and a pre–Revolutionary War graveyard. Saint James is rich in tradition while striving to be involved in present day community activities and causes, always welcoming visitors to the campus and seeking inclusion of all community members.

The Maintenance Technician is a new and key role on the team. It requires proven skills in buildings and grounds maintenance and experience in the repair, upkeep, and troubleshooting of the buildings, building systems, and grounds of Saint James to ensure safe, secure, and efficient operations. Given our prominence in the city, we must maintain visually-appealing buildings and grounds on our historic campus.

This is a part-time position. Some early mornings, evenings and weekends may occasionally be required.
