Why Work Here?

You will join a hands-on, collaborative facilities team where your technical skills and initiative have a visible impact on improving and modernizing an established building. The role offers variety in day-to-day work, exposure to multiple trades, and the opportunity to grow your expertise across HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and general maintenance.

Work Environment

This role is based fully on-site in a 58-year-old facility, focused exclusively on facility and building maintenance rather than production work. You will work with a wide range of building systems, including HVAC controls, electrical circuits, plumbing components, lighting, boilers, and general mechanical equipment, using standard hand tools and maintenance equipment. The position involves regular physical activity such as lifting up to 50 pounds, bending, carrying tools, moving furniture and equipment, and performing repairs in various parts of the building. The work environment includes both indoor and outdoor tasks, and you may be exposed to heat, sunlight, rain, cold, daylight, and nighttime conditions. On-site parking is available for convenience. On-call duties are not expected until after potential conversion to full-time employment, providing a more predictable schedule during the initial period.
