• Knowledgeable about general building maintenance and repair

• Familiar with preventative maintenance programs

• Able to troubleshoot problems and determine when outside expertise is needed

Knowledge of Life Safety Code, CMS requirements, OSHA, fire safety, emergency preparedness, and healthcare regulatory requirements is a plus.

Why Join Our Team?
