Maintenance Assistant

Overview

For more than 60 years, Tyndale has helped readers discover the life-giving truths of God’s Word. Today we’re one of the largest independently owned Christian publishers in the world. Though our business has grown, our mission remains the same: to open God’s Word to as many as possible in language they can relate to and understand.

We’re looking for a hands-on, dependable Maintenance Assistant who takes pride in keeping buildings, grounds, and work spaces safe, functional, and welcoming. In this role, you’ll support daily upkeep, repairs, and improvement projects that help sustain our mission-driven environment.

• Perform general building maintenance: repair doors, locks, light fixtures, windows, and plumbing fixtures.
• Conduct preventative maintenance on HVAC systems, filters, and electrical panels.
• Troubles and perform light electrical work (replace ballasts, outlets, switches, breakers).
• Maintain the appearance and safety of the property by mowing, trimming, snow removal, and lawn care.
• Set up and tear down equipment for chapel services, meetings, employee offices, and company functions.
• Assist with custodial duties such as cleaning offices, hallways, restrooms, and windows.
• Support recycling, deliveries, and furniture setup or relocation.
• Respond to emergency repairs and ensure all work meets safety and quality standards.

• 1+ year of maintenance or facility experience (preferred).
• Basic plumbing, electrical, carpentry, and mechanical skills.
• Strong problem-solving and communication skills.
• Ability to lift heavy objects, work in varying temperatures, and stay active throughout the day.
• Dependable, detail-oriented, and comfortable working independently or on a team.
• A heart for service and a Christ-centered attitude toward teamwork and stewardship.

• Full-time, on-site role at our Carol Stream, IL campus.
• Seasonal flexibility — early starts or occasional weekend work during peak maintenance periods.
