We are seeking a hands‑on Facilities Furniture Support Technician to support a large, active campus environment. This role is focused almost entirely on commercial furniture diagnostics, troubleshooting, repair, coordination, and inventory management.
This is not an IT role and not a furniture installation role. The primary objective is to ensure workspaces remain functional, ergonomic, clean, and professional, with minimal disruption to the business.
The ideal candidate is technically strong with commercial furniture systems, comfortable being boots‑on‑the‑ground, highly visible, and capable of operating independently while delivering excellent customer‑facing support.

- Ensure desks, workstations, and shared spaces remain organized, clean, and professional
- Eliminate cable clutter and resolve workspace issues that negatively impact appearance or usability
- Coordinate large furniture moves with approved furniture vendors
