This position offers an excellent opportunity to expand your technical skillset while working in a dynamic mixed-use environment that includes both laboratory and office spaces. Working alongside experienced operations managers and senior mechanics, you'll tackle diverse maintenance challenges—from routine preventive maintenance and filter changes to complex system repairs involving chillers, boilers, fume hoods, and biosafety cabinets. Your responsibilities will span both interior and exterior building systems, requiring versatility and problem-solving abilities as you respond to work orders, conduct facility inspections, and ensure optimal building performance. If you're technically skilled, safety-conscious, and motivated to grow within a professional maintenance environment that values continuous learning and operational excellence, this role provides the platform to develop your expertise while contributing to critical facility operations that support cutting-edge research and business activities.

Navigate web-based work order systems to update and close work orders promptly, complete required safety trainings, conduct vehicle and equipment safety inspections, escalate issues to management in a timely manner, and maintain compliance with all safety procedures and regulatory requirements.

Required Qualifications:

• Advanced working knowledge of building mechanical systems including HVAC equipment (chillers, pumps, motors, air handling units, rooftop units, fan coils) and associated exhaust systems with hands-on maintenance and repair experience.
