Canning Blvd, Fall River, MA — sole on-site maintenance presence, with occasional travel to Seekonk and New Bedford Shift: Monday-Friday, 7:00am-3:30pm. On-call rotation seat. Purpose of the Role: The Senior Facilities Technician is the maintenance presence at 999 William S. Canning Blvd — the MIP kitchen, packaging, the two bloom rooms, the dry and cure rooms, the retail floor and the office space — and supports the Seekonk and New Bedford retail sites. The role is deliberately broad. It covers custodial and sanitation work, building upkeep, the site’s recurring preventive maintenance list, and basic mechanical repair. Custodial and sanitation work is a core part of this job, performed daily, not an occasional add-on — an applicant should want a role of that shape, because it is a large share of the week and it is not delegated to anyone else. What makes this the senior grade rather than the entry grade is autonomy. At Lakeville a Technician works alongside a Mechanic and a Lead and can ask a question at any moment. Here there is nobody to ask. This person judges what they can safely complete, completes it, and escalates the rest accurately and early. Anything beyond basic mechanical work is escalated to the Senior Maintenance Mechanic, who travels from Lakeville to resolve it — and escalating correctly is a skill this role is selected and paid for, not a shortcoming. Responsibilities: Sanitation, custodial and appearance — daily, and a core part of the role Maintain sanitation standards throughout the production, packaging, retail and office areas to Cannabis Control Commission and food-safety standard Perform daily custodial work — floors, restrooms, break areas, waste and recycling, glass and entryways, retail floor presentation Maintain grounds, parking, walkways, signage, exterior lighting and seasonal upkeep including snow and ice support Keep sanitation supplies, filters and consumables stocked and reordered before they run out Preventive maintenance and building upkeep Own and complete the 999 recurring preventive maintenance list — roughly four scheduled tasks a week across the kitchen, packaging, bloom, veg, dry and RO systems Change filters, clean coils and drain pans, grease fittings, check belts, and complete assigned routes on schedule and without rework Perform routine repairs — doors and hardware, fixtures, drywall and paint, basic carpentry, minor plumbing, lamp and ballast replacement Support the packaging and post-harvest equipment — arbor press, labeler, sealers — with cleaning, adjustment and basic repair Judgment and escalation Work independently for a full shift without on-site supervision, planning the day against the schedule and the queue Diagnose to the level of an accurate, specific report: what failed, what it is doing, what was tried, and how urgent it is Escalate refrigeration, chiller, control-system, three-phase electrical and any other work beyond the defined scope to the Senior Maintenance Mechanic — early, and before attempting it Escort and assist outside contractors, provide site access, and verify that the work area is left clean and safe Records and compliance Log every job in the work-order system — what was done, on what asset, and how long it took Follow all Cannabis Control Commission and OSHA requirements at all times, and document compliance-relevant repairs Serve in the on-call rotation Requirements — an application must meet all of the following: Two or more years in facilities, maintenance, custodial or building services work — OR demonstrated equivalent capability validated through NEA’s hands-on assessment Demonstrated ability to work an entire shift independently, without on-site supervision, and to plan and sequence a day’s work without being assigned it task by task. Validated through the assessment and through reference check with a prior employer. Willingness and physical ability to perform daily custodial and sanitation work as a core, recurring part of the role. This is stated as a requirement because it is a large share of the week and applicants should self-select on it. Demonstrated safe and competent use of hand and power tools, validated during the hands-on assessment Demonstrated ability to identify a fault, describe it accurately in writing, and recognize the boundary of their own competence — validated through a staged scenario in the assessment Ability to read and follow work orders, checklists and equipment instructions, and to log completed work OSHA 10 certification, or the ability to obtain it within 90 days of hire — company paid Availability for the on-call rotation All roles additionally require: Minimum 21 years of age (Cannabis Control Commission requirement) Able to obtain and maintain a Massachusetts CCC agent registration card Passes a pre-employment background check and drug screen in accordance with company policy and state regulation Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation between NEA Massachusetts locations Preferred Qualifications: EPA 608 certification of any type — company paid if not held at hire Vocational-technical education in a relevant trade (electrical, plumbing, HVAC, carpentry) Prior experience as the sole maintenance or facilities person at a site Prior experience in a regulated production, food-grade, cleanroom or cannabis environment Forklift, scissor lift or aerial lift certification Interest in progressing to the Maintenance Mechanic level Progression Within the Band:
