What This Job Involves

Daily Building Operations and Equipment Management

Conduct daily mechanical rounds and equipment inspections across both facilities, ensuring all HVAC systems, cooling towers, boilers, air handlers, and pumps operate within correct parameters.

Meet with contractors when work is taking place, discuss tactical issues, give appropriate directives, and ensure work is completed to standards.

Ensure compliance with environmental, building and safety codes. Participate in Occupational Health & Safety meetings as required. Conduct or verify regular security building patrols. Report problems and recommend changes to improve efficiency, reduce operating costs, or enhance safety.
