Maintenance Technician (Part Time, 30-35 hours)

Job Description

Job Description

A skilled nursing facility in Las Animas, CO, is looking for a hands-on Maintenance Technician to keep our facility safe, functional, and welcoming for the residents who call it home. You will own the physical plant end to end, from daily repairs and preventive maintenance to safety compliance and supervising the maintenance team. This is a working supervisor role, so you will be as comfortable with tools in hand as you are managing schedules and records.

If you take pride in a building that runs well and you want your work to directly improve people's quality of life, we would like to hear from you.

What You'll Do

• Keep all physical aspects of the building in safe, working order, and maintain within state and federal guidelines
• Handle hands-on repairs across multiple trades: plumbing, lighting, fixtures, flooring, and wall and drywall repair
• Create and manage schedules for housekeeping and laundry personnel
• Order, track, and account for maintenance, housekeeping, and laundry supplies
• Maintain proper safety practices and the care and operation of physical equipment
• Transport residents to scheduled medical appointments and help coordinate that scheduling
• Assist in developing department policies and procedures, and serve on committees as required
• Participate in required in-service training, continuing education, and quality assurance programs

What We're Looking For

• High school diploma or equivalent
• Hands-on experience across the core building trades: plumbing, lighting, fixtures, flooring, and wall and drywall repair
• Skilled nursing facility (SNF) maintenance experience greatly preferred
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to prioritize and follow through independently
• Patience, tact, and genuine comfort working around elderly residents and their families
• Clear written and verbal communication with staff, residents, families, and outside professionals

The Work Environment

You will move between an office, all interior areas of the facility, and outdoor spaces like courtyards and patios. The role is active and includes the normal hazards of maintenance work, so attention to safety is essential.

You will also interact daily with residents and families, many of whom are navigating illness, aging, or loss. The right person brings a steady, compassionate presence to those moments and represents the facility professionally at all times.
