Building Maintenance Mechanic

The CT1 position provides skilled maintenance, repair, and preventive maintenance services for University of Alaska Southeast facilities and equipment. This position performs a broad range of mechanical, electrical, plumbing, grounds, and building maintenance duties while responding to operational needs across campus facilities. Responsibilities include maintaining boilers and mechanical systems, fire extinguishers and life-safety equipment, pumps and water systems, generators, vehicles and equipment, and assisting with building repairs and preventive maintenance.

The position also performs locksmithing and access control functions, including installation, repair, maintenance, and programming of locks, door hardware, keys, and electronic access control devices. The employee works independently, troubleshoots equipment and building systems, maintains accurate records, follows applicable safety and regulatory requirements, and works cooperatively with Facilities Services staff, campus departments, contractors, and vendors to support safe, reliable, and functional campus facilities. The employee may assist other Facilities Services trades and staff as needed to support department operations and will perform other duties as assigned.

To thrive in this position, you should be someone who takes pride in doing the work that keeps the University running safely and effectively. You work equally well independently and as part of a team, recognizing that successful Facilities Services operations depend on employees supporting one another and sharing their knowledge and skills.

A student-first mindset is essential. You understand that the work performed by Facilities Services directly impacts the student experience, and you put safety, reliability, and service at the forefront of your decisions. You take ownership of problems, look for solutions, and understand the importance of responding professionally and respectfully to students, faculty, staff, and visitors.
You are adaptable and willing to help wherever needed, including assisting other trades and taking on new responsibilities as campus needs change. You communicate effectively, keep others informed, and are comfortable asking questions when clarification or additional expertise is needed. You take initiative, pay attention to details, maintain accurate records, and follow established safety practices and regulatory requirements.

Most importantly, you understand that much of Facilities Services' work happens behind the scenes, but the work matters. Your ability to take pride in your work, work safely, support your teammates, and contribute to a positive campus environment is essential to succeeding in this position.
