Facilities Staffer – HVAC Specialist

Facilities Staffer – HVAC Specialist

Reports to:

Facilities Manager and Director of Facilities (or Partner)

Compensation: $30–45 an hour, non-exempt position. Specific starting wages are dependent on location and experience.

Full Description Summary

Sports Basement seeks to self-perform many of the tasks needed to keep our buildings operational. This includes the construction of fixtures, repair of fixtures, and general maintenance of our facilities. This role requires a working knowledge of hand tools and power tools, and the proper and safe use of these tools in both workshop environments and in public locations like our retail sales floors.

In addition to fixture and general maintenance work, this role performs routine preventative maintenance on our HVAC equipment, such as replacing filters and belts, clearing condensate drains, and inspecting rooftop units. This is not a dedicated HVAC position and does not perform refrigerant handling or other licensed trade work — that work is handled by outside contractors. We are looking for a facilities generalist who brings hands-on HVAC preventative-maintenance experience to a varied, multi-system role.

Our Facilities Staffer understands how to work with the various raw materials used in creating and repairing Sports Basement's trade fixtures, and is always mindful of public safety. Working with raw materials will at times include loading and unloading by hand or with the aid of material handling equipment such as forklifts and trucks. These materials can be heavy — Facilities Staffers must be able to lift and move a single sheet of 5/8″ plywood or a 50 lb bag of concrete by hand.

Facilities Staffers must know the limits of their own skills and seek help or direction whenever a task is beyond their abilities. Facilities Staffers may be asked to travel to any Sports Basement location to perform construction, repair, or maintenance tasks. Depending on the needs of the company, other duties may be assigned from time to time.

What You'll Do

Facilities Duties and Operations

• Build Sports Basement's standard trade fixtures in our Bryant Street and San Ramon workshops, demonstrating working knowledge of the materials and methods required to produce them to spec.
• Repair existing fixtures and perform general maintenance work at any Sports Basement location, as assigned by the Facilities Manager.
• Complete preventative or scheduled maintenance tasks when assigned. Facilities Staffers are not expected to seek out this work independently — assignments come from the Facilities Manager.
• Perform routine preventative maintenance on HVAC equipment as assigned, including air filter replacement, belt replacement, condensate drain clearing, and visual inspection of rooftop and packaged units. Execute the preventative maintenance schedule as assigned by the Facilities Manager, and keep accurate records of the maintenance performed.
• Escalate any HVAC work beyond routine maintenance — including refrigerant handling, electrical repair, or controls programming — to the Facilities Manager for assignment to a licensed contractor. Refrigerant work is performed only by appropriately licensed personnel and is never performed in-house.
• Perform construction, repair, and maintenance tasks in both workshop environments and in public locations such as our retail sales floors, always working in a manner that prioritizes the safety of customers and staff.
• Use hand tools and power tools safely and correctly. Know the limits of your own skills and stop, ask for help, or escalate to the Facilities Manager when a task is beyond your ability.
• Load, unload, and handle raw materials by hand or with the aid of material handling equipment, including forklifts and trucks. Must be able to lift and move a single sheet of 5/8″ plywood or a 50 lb bag of concrete by hand.
• Travel to any Sports Basement store to perform construction, repair, or maintenance work. A valid Class C license is required; in most cases, Staffers will use their own vehicle, with mileage reimbursement provided when appropriate.
• Take direction and work assignments from the Facilities Manager. Store-level facilities requests are routed from…
