Facilities Technician

Since 1866, Maine Central Institute has welcomed students from down the street and around the world to a campus that is nurturing, safe, and academically vibrant. Behind every class, recital, game, and meal is a building that has to work.

As our Facilities Technician, you keep it that way: doors that lock and unlock as they should, heat that stays on, water that stays in the pipes, and walkways that are clear after a storm. You will be a visible, trusted member of the campus community, and your work every day helps students and staff feel safe and ready to learn.
