- Assist with fire extinguisher placement and coordinate setup of building alarms and other facility safety systems.
- Handle day-to-day building maintenance and coordinate service with HVAC, plumbing, and other outside contractors.
- Schedule contractor visits, communicate what needs to be done, and follow up through completion.
What you’ll bring
- At least 3 years of facilities or building maintenance experience. Five or more years is preferred.
- Hands-on experience installing racking, worktables, fixtures, furniture, or similar equipment.
- Experience coordinating outside contractors for building maintenance or installation work.
- Comfort using hand and power tools and working from a facility layout.
Experience with a new facility setup or move is especially valuable. Manufacturing or warehouse experience, HVAC maintenance exposure, fire safety systems, floor striping, 5S, and forklift or scissor lift operation are also helpful.
Apply with your resume. If you’ve helped open, expand, or move a facility, tell us what you installed and which contractors you coordinated.
