• A supportive, diverse team and training opportunities. We believe in giving our people opportunities to advance wherever we can.
• High-value benefits. We offer Extended Health, Vision, Dental, Life, AD&D and Disability Insurance, plus an Employee Assistance Program (EAP), to help protect your health, family and way of life. Plus: birthdays off with pay, parental top-ups and much more!

It takes a special kind of person to work here – does this sound like you?

• You’re a respected facility manager with five to 10 years of experience as handyperson in a senior-living or hospitality environment, including supervising employees and/or contractors.
• You lead by demonstrating excellent decision-making, customer service and participative management abilities.
• You have knowledge and experience with all types of building equipment, electrical and mechanical systems, including kitchen equipment.
• You possess a Facility Management or Class 5 Power Engineering certification.
