• Perform and support preventative maintenance on building systems, equipment, fixtures, and other facility components.

• Respond promptly to urgent facilities issues, including emergency calls outside of regular business hours and overnight.

• Take ownership of repair requests from identification through completion, ensuring issues are resolved properly and efficiently.

• Determine which repairs can be completed in-house and when a licensed contractor or outside vendor is required.

• Coordinate with outside vendors as needed, including explaining the issue, arranging access, monitoring progress, and confirming completion.

• Research and purchase necessary parts, tools, equipment, and supplies to complete repairs and maintain building operations.

• Assist with facilities projects, equipment installations, renovations, and building improvements.

• Provide hands-on support to facilities staff and assist with prioritizing work when multiple needs arise.

• Coordinate with the Senior Supervisor, Maintenance to address building needs that affect cleanliness, upkeep, safety, and daily operations.

• Communicate significant repairs, recurring issues, equipment concerns, and supply needs to the Senior Director, Facilities.

• Maintain organized work areas, use tools and equipment safely, and follow applicable safety procedures.

• Perform other facilities-related duties as needed.

· Strong experience with facilities and building repairs.

· Hands-on knowledge of plumbing, electrical systems, painting, and general building maintenance.

· HVAC knowledge and experience strongly preferred.

· Experience leading or supervising a team.
