About the Role

Spot On Veterinary is seeking a dependable Facilities Maintenance Technician to support the day-to-day upkeep of our Stamford and Westport veterinary hospitals.

This hands-on role is ideal for someone who enjoys solving problems, working independently, and taking pride in maintaining safe, clean, and well-functioning facilities. No two days are exactly alike—you may be repairing a door in the morning, touching up paint after lunch, assembling shelving, or assisting with a facility improvement project before heading home.

We're looking for someone who is reliable, resourceful, and willing to tackle a variety of maintenance tasks that help keep our hospitals operating efficiently for our staff, clients, and patients.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform general building maintenance and minor repairs at both Stamford and Westport locations.

• Complete basic plumbing, electrical, carpentry, painting, drywall, and appliance repairs.

• Replace fixtures, hardware, lighting, ceiling tiles, and other building components.

• Perform preventative maintenance and routine facility inspections.

• Assist with facility improvement projects, seasonal maintenance, and general clean-up.

• Perform minor landscaping and exterior upkeep as needed.

• Identify maintenance concerns before they become larger issues and communicate repair needs promptly.

• Coordinate with management when outside vendors or specialized repairs are required.

• Maintain maintenance equipment, tools, and storage areas in a clean and organized manner.

• Follow all workplace safety procedures and company policies.

Required Qualifications

• Previous experience performing general building maintenance, facility maintenance, or handyman work.

• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision.

• Reliable transportation and the ability to travel between both hospital locations.

• Strong time management and organizational skills.

• Ability to prioritize multiple tasks throughout the workday.

• Comfortable working around dogs and cats in a veterinary environment.

• Proficient in spoken and written English.

• Reliable attendance and punctuality.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience in one or more of the following is preferred:

• Commercial building maintenance

• Medical or veterinary facilities

• Property maintenance

• Painting and drywall repair

• Basic plumbing or electrical troubleshooting

• General handyman experience

Physical Requirements

This position requires regular physical activity, including:

• Lifting up to 50 pounds.

• Standing, walking, bending, kneeling, climbing ladders, and reaching throughout the workday.

• Safely operating hand and power tools.

• Performing manual labor for extended periods.

Work Environment

• Indoor and occasional outdoor work throughout the year.

• Exposure to dogs, cats, cleaning and disinfecting products, and maintenance equipment.

• Fast-paced veterinary hospital environment.

What Makes Someone Successful in This Role

The ideal candidate:

• Takes pride in producing quality work.

• Notices problems before they're pointed out.

• Works well independently without constant supervision.

• Is dependable and arrives ready to work.

• Enjoys hands-on projects and solving problems.

• Understands that every task—whether it's repairing a door, replacing a light fixture, touching up paint, or helping move equipment—contributes to the success of the team.

Please Note

This position focuses on general facility maintenance and repairs. It is not a licensed electrician, plumber, HVAC technician, or facilities management position, although experience in those trades is welcomed and valued.
