* Maintain strict compliance with all safety procedures and regulations, completing hazard assessments, identifying and proposing solutions to eliminate safety hazards, and ensuring adherence to State, County, and City ordinances, codes, and laws.
* Utilize CMMS systems (Corrigo, BMRAM) to update work order status in real time, maintain accurate documentation of all work performed, attend required work and safety meetings, and follow proper protocols for storage, usage, and disposal of hazardous materials.##

* Strong customer service skills with ability to communicate effectively with building occupants, management, and team members while maintaining professional relationships and responding to service needs promptly.
* Valid state driver's license (if position requires mobility between sites) with ability to drive for extended periods and respond to multiple facility locations.
* Physical capability to lift up to 80 lbs, work from heights up to 30 feet using ladders (300 lb weight limit), and perform frequent climbing, bending, kneeling, stooping, and overhead work in various environmental conditions.
* Computer proficiency including ability to navigate and update CMMS platforms, complete digital work orders, and utilize technology tools for documentation and communication purposes.##
