• Asset & Work Management: Track, log, and close out routine work orders using our digital work management system (CMMS) to document daily facility and grounds tasks.

• Physical Stamina: Ability to work outdoors in various weather conditions (heat, cold, rain, snow). Ability to lift up to 50 lbs regularly, climb ladders, and remain on your feet for extended periods.
• Digital Literacy: Comfort using smartphone or tablet-based apps to receive and update daily work orders.
