• Fulfill office and breakroom supply requests and handle general upkeep to support daily operations
• Install, update, and maintain safety, wayfinding, and compliance signage across the facility and shop floor
• Perform routine exterior cleaning: sweeping, pressure washing, trash/debris removal, and grounds upkeep
• Conduct scheduled preventive maintenance checks on HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems; log findings and escalate issues as needed
• Assemble and install desks, chairs, workstations, shelving, and other office/shop equipment
• Coordinate with external vendors and contractors for larger repairs or specialized servicing
• Set up and break down furniture and equipment for meetings, events, or space reconfigurations
• Manage inventory of facilities supplies (cleaning products, tools, spare parts)
• Assist with move-in/move-out logistics, furniture assembly, and basic space planning
• Ensure compliance with health, safety, and building codes
• Respond promptly to facility requests and tickets from staff
• Maintain accurate records of maintenance activities and schedules
• Support janitorial staff or cleaning contractors as needed
• Assist with basic security tasks such as badge access, lock checks, and building entry monitoring

Qualifications

• High school diploma or equivalent required
• 1+ years of experience in facilities, maintenance, or a related field preferred
• Basic knowledge of building systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) is a plus
• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs and perform physical tasks (standing, bending, climbing ladders)
• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail
• Good written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to work independently and prioritize tasks effectively
• Valid driver’s license (if travel between sites is required)

Preferred Skills

• Experience with facilities management software or ticketing systems
• Basic carpentry, plumbing, or electrical skills
• Furniture and equipment assembly experience
• Forklift or other equipment certification (if applicable)
