Facility Lead Technician

You will be the hands-on technical resource responsible for the mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and life safety systems at our Pensacola property. This is not a reactive maintenance role. You will be the person who knows the building — its quirks, its needs, and its potential — and builds a proactive approach to keeping it operating at its best.

WSR is in active transformation, raising the bar on how we operate, document, and maintain our properties. The Lead Technician is central to that mission — institutionalizing best practices, tightening vendor relationships, and ensuring our asset is protected for the long term.
