Building And Grounds Care In Petersburg

• The position is based in Petersburg, Virginia, where the maintenance team keeps the community's building and grounds neat, clean, safe, sanitary, and comfortable. The work includes interior and exterior cleanliness, care of grounds equipment, and repairs that protect the property during changing weather.
• The role includes snow response through plowing, salting, and shoveling. It also includes keeping the building free from rising water or burst pipes. Repair work falls within the broader repair activities covered by OSHA construction guidance, which emphasizes identifying, reducing, and eliminating workplace hazards.

Repairs Across Multiple Trades

Spring Oak requires working knowledge across at least two trades. The posted trade examples are light electrical work, carpentry, HVAC, and plumbing, while the position also handles repairs to appliances, office equipment, maintenance equipment, and grounds equipment.

• Repair drywall and paint interior or exterior areas.
• Perform minor repairs on appliances and office equipment.
• Repair maintenance and grounds equipment.
• Maintain building systems during routine work and weather events.

Equipment knowledge is part of the role. The maintenance worker needs to understand how each appliance, office device, maintenance machine, and grounds tool functions before attempting a minor repair. The employer also requires safe storage of supplies, chemicals, tools, and equipment.

On-Call Coverage And Facility Protection

The role includes carrying a cell phone and being on call when the Director of Maintenance or Executive Director determines coverage is necessary. That responsibility sits alongside regular building and grounds work rather than replacing the full-time maintenance schedule.

Facility protection includes responding to conditions that can damage a community, such as burst pipes, rising water, snow, and other inclement-weather problems. The work also supports residents, visitors, and staff by keeping shared spaces and equipment in working condition.

Maintenance Work Around Residents And Staff

Spring Oak's maintenance team works in a residential community where repairs affect residents, visitors, and staff. The role therefore combines hands-on repair with organized care of occupied spaces, shared equipment, and outdoor areas.
