In this hands‑on role, you’ll perform custodial and maintenance tasks, assist with event setup and teardown, operate equipment safely, and help oversee part‑time facilities maintenance staff.

This position requires knowledge of maintenance tools and equipment, a keen eye for safety, and the ability to work independently while providing excellent customer service. Join a team that keeps Augusta’s Civic Center ready for every event! A complete job description is available below.
