Facilities Maintenance Technician

Are you the person everyone calls when something needs to be built, repaired, painted, installed, connected, or just figured out?

MDP Automotive is looking for a skilled, dependable Facilities & Projects Technician to help take ownership of repairs, improvements, maintenance, remodeling, and projects across our growing company.

We currently have locations in Jackson and Ann Arbor and are working toward adding a third location
, so there is no shortage of projects ahead.

This isn't a janitorial or basic maintenance position.

We're looking for someone who is good with their hands, takes pride in their work, can think for themselves, and knows how to get things done.

Every week could look a little different. Projects may include:

• Interior and exterior painting
• Drywall repair and finishing
• Finish carpentry and trim
• Framing and light construction
• Installing or repairing doors, cabinets, shelving, and work spaces
• Remodeling and facility improvement projects
• Installing TVs, signage, fixtures, hardware, and equipment
• General building repairs and preventative maintenance
• Shop organization and storage projects
• Punch-list items and facility upgrades
• Helping prepare, remodel, and set up future locations
• Working with outside contractors when specialized trades are required

One day you might be painting and finishing an office. The next you could be building shelving, repairing drywall, installing equipment, setting up a workspace, or helping us transform a new location.

We want someone who enjoys that variety.

If you're also comfortable with IT, networking, low-voltage, cameras, computers, Wi-Fi, or technology installation
, that's a major plus.

That could include:

• Running and organizing Ethernet/network cabling
• Installing Wi-Fi access points
• Installing and troubleshooting cameras
• Mounting TVs and monitors
• Setting up computer workstations
• Installing printers and other office equipment
• Troubleshooting basic connectivity issues
• Organizing network equipment and cabling
• Helping with technology setup at new locations

You don't need to be an IT professional.

But someone who can build a wall, hang a TV, run the network cable to it, set up the equipment, and figure out why something isn't working would be an extremely valuable person on our team.

You don't have to be a master of every trade.

We're looking for someone who:

• Takes pride in doing quality work
• Is dependable and follows through
• Can work independently without constant supervision
• Can look at a problem and figure out a solution
• Has experience with tools, construction, remodeling, or facility maintenance
• Pays attention to the details
• Keeps projects and work areas organized
• Communicates well
• Can manage multiple projects and priorities
• Is willing to learn things they don't already know
• Takes care of equipment and company property
• Wants to become someone we can trust and rely on long term

Experience in carpentry, painting, remodeling, construction, facilities maintenance, low-voltage, networking, or IT is highly valued.

This position can start around 20 hours per week
, with the possibility of additional hours depending on our projects and your availability.

We're flexible.

This could work well for someone looking for consistent part-time work, someone transitioning out of another trade position, or someone who wants to prove themselves and eventually make this their full-time career.

For the right person, we see a very real opportunity for this position to grow into a full-time role with benefits
.

As we continue adding locations, we expect the responsibilities and opportunities…
