Job Description
Job Overview
Martin Smith Inc. has been a cornerstone of the Seattle skyline for generations and is seeking a motivated Assistant Building Engineer to join the team. This role offers the opportunity to build a career from the ground up through a hands-on apprenticeship in commercial real estate.
Working alongside the Building and Chief Engineers, the Assistant Building Engineer will develop expertise in the systems that keep a modern property running, including mechanical operations and high-end tenant relations. This position is well suited for a dependable, hands-on individual who is eager to learn a trade and grow within the organization.
How You'll Make an Impact
As the right hand to our engineering leadership, you will ensure our properties remain a safe, professional, and high-performing environment for our tenants.
- Operational Support: Partner with vendors (Elevators, HVAC, Fire Life & Safety, etc) and oversee tenant move-in/move-out logistics.
- Preventative Maintenance: Assist in preventative maintenance to catch issues before they happen.
- Tenant Relations: Be the face of the engineering team, responding to service requests with a professional, problem-solving attitude.
- Property Stewardship: Execute daily upkeep that defines the building’s first impression, including aesthetics and general repairs.
What You Bring to the Team
We value a can-do mindset over a long resume. If you are a reliable worker who takes pride in a job well done, you’ll fit right in.
- Growth Mindset: You’re eager to learn complex building systems (plumbing, electrical, mechanical) and take on special projects.
- Communication: You can talk to anyone, from corporate tenants to third-party contractors, with clarity and courtesy.
- Reliability: You are independent, punctual, and able to manage a task list without being micromanaged.
- Physical Readiness: You are comfortable lifting up to 50 lbs, climbing ladders up to 8 feet, and staying active throughout the day.
- Foundations: High school diploma or equivalent. (Prior experience in trades or building services is a plus but not required).
About Martin Smith Inc
We believe in taking care of the people who take care of our buildings. We offer a comprehensive benefits package designed to support your health, your future, and your work-life balance:
- 401(k) with company matching.
- Comprehensive Health, Dental, and Vision insurance plus a Health Savings Account (HSA).
- Paid time off to ensure you stay energized.
- Career Pathing: We prioritize internal growth. This role is designed to be the first step toward becoming a Building Engineer.
