Building Operator​/Maintenance Technician

Building Operator/Commercial Maintenance Technician

Land Bank Developments is seeking a practical, dependable and experienced Building Operator to support the day-to-day physical operation and maintenance of our commercial real estate portfolio.

This is a hands-on, site-based position for someone who takes pride in identifying problems early, completing repairs properly and keeping commercial properties safe, functional and well maintained. The successful candidate will maintain a regular presence at the properties, conduct routine inspections, respond to maintenance concerns and personally complete a broad range of general repairs and maintenance work.

The ideal candidate will have a working understanding of commercial buildings and their major systems but, above all, will be a capable and resourceful maintenance professional who is comfortable using tools, troubleshooting problems and completing repairs. When an issue requires specialized expertise or falls outside the position’s qualifications, the Maintenance Technician will assess the situation, provide a clear recommendation to Property Management and coordinate the appropriate contractor or trade.

This is primarily a hands-on maintenance role, rather than a property management or administrative position.

• Maintain a regular and reliable presence at assigned commercial properties.
• Conduct routine inspections of building interiors, exteriors, common areas, mechanical rooms, rooftops, parking areas and surrounding grounds.
• Identify maintenance concerns, safety hazards, property damage and emerging building issues before they become larger problems.
• Document deficiencies and provide clear updates to Property Management regarding their urgency, recommended response and anticipated scope of work.
• Confirm that common areas, service areas and building systems are operating appropriately and present a clean, safe and professional appearance.
• Follow up on previously identified issues to ensure repairs are completed and concerns do not recur.
• Report urgent or potentially costly issues to Property Management as soon as they are identified.

• Personally complete routine repairs and maintenance work that can reasonably and safely be performed in-house.
• Diagnose common maintenance concerns and determine whether they can be addressed internally or require a specialized contractor.
• Perform general carpentry, drywall repair, painting, patching, caulking and finishing work.
• Repair and adjust doors, locks, closers, hinges, handles, gates and other building hardware.
• Complete minor plumbing repairs, including leaking faucets, toilets, drains and fixture replacements, where permitted.
• Complete minor, non-regulated electrical work and troubleshooting where legally permitted, including the replacement of lamps, switches, receptacle covers and similar components.
• Repair or replace ceiling tiles, shelving, signage, flooring components and other interior finishes.
• Complete minor exterior repairs and seasonal maintenance.
• Assemble, install, adjust and repair fixtures, furniture and building components as required.
• Respond promptly to water leaks, property damage, access issues, heating or cooling complaints and other building maintenance concerns.
• Maintain clean and orderly work areas and take appropriate steps to protect tenants, customers and property while repairs are underway.

• Monitor the general condition and operation of HVAC, plumbing, electrical, life-safety, access-control and other building systems.
• Perform basic troubleshooting and routine maintenance within the individual’s training, experience and legal qualifications.
• Escalate regulated, hazardous or highly technical work to the appropriate licensed contractor.
• Complete scheduled preventative maintenance tasks and maintain accurate service records.
• Inspect mechanical equipment for visible leaks, unusual noise, vibration, damage or other indicators of potential failure.
• Monitor seasonal building requirements, including heating, cooling, freeze protection, roof drainage and exterior maintenance.
• Assist with the testing, inspection and servicing of building equipment as directed.
• Maintain an organized inventory of commonly required tools, supplies, filters, lamps, hardware and repair materials.
• Identify recurring maintenance issues and recommend practical corrective work or longer-term improvements.

• Assess maintenance concerns that require specialized expertise and clearly explain the issue to Property Management.
• Recommend an appropriate course of action, including the type of contractor required, urgency of the repair and any reasonable interim measures.
• Obtain quotes or pricing from qualified contractors when requested.
• Arrange site access and coordinate electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, roofers, locksmiths and other specialized trades.
• Meet contractors on site,…
