What are the responsibilities and job description for the Facilities Maintenance Technician position at Southern Specialties | Tulsa, OK?
If you’re the kind of person who notices when something isn’t working quite right and knows how to figure out why, this could be a great fit.
We’re looking for an experienced Facilities Maintenance Technician to join our maintenance team and help keep our manufacturing facility safe, reliable, and ready for production.
This is a hands-on role with a primary focus on building systems, utilities, and facility infrastructure. You’ll work with everything from HVAC, compressed air, lighting, and plumbing to overhead doors, electrical systems, dust collection, and general facility needs. No two days will look exactly the same.
You’ll be part of an established maintenance team, working together to troubleshoot problems, coordinate repairs, tackle preventive maintenance, and find ways to make our facility even better.
What You’ll Do
You don’t need to know everything, but you should be comfortable troubleshooting, working independently, and figuring things out.
Ideally, you’ll bring:
This isn’t a role where you’ll spend every day working on the same piece of equipment.
You’ll have the opportunity to work across a variety of facility systems, utilities, infrastructure, and maintenance projects, giving you the chance to use the skills you already have while continuing to expand your knowledge.
You’ll also have something that’s important in a facilities role: visibility and impact. The work you do directly affects the safety of the workplace, the reliability of the facility, and the ability of our production teams to do their jobs.
If you enjoy troubleshooting, fixing things the right way, and being part of the team people count on to keep a facility running, we’d like to hear from you.
