A strong work ethic, problem-solving mindset, and a commitment to contribute to healthy team culture are essential.

• Strong interpersonal and communication skills.
• Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail.
• Proactive problem-solving mindset.

Primary Responsibilities:

• Perform routine and preventive maintenance across campus, including (but not limited to) electrical, plumbing, painting, flooring, and general repairs.

• Provide support for urgent facility needs.
• Guide and support Facilities Assistants and Interns in daily tasks, ensuring quality work and alignment with team standards (management responsibilities will be dependent on experience).
• Contribute to a healthy and collaborative team environment, modeling servant leadership and accountability.
• Assist in maintaining building systems and equipment, including (but not limited to) performing regular checks on medical equipment, door functionality, lights, water heaters, electrical systems, HVAC, etc.
• Coordinate with the Facilities & Operations Pastor on project timelines.
• Ensure workspaces, storage areas, and mechanical rooms are safe, organized, and well-maintained.
• This role requires frequent interaction with staff and volunteers across ministries. A collaborative, patient, and clear communication style—paired with strong listening skills and a willingness to understand the needs of others—is essential.
• Assist with event setup or teardown when needed and maintain awareness of calendar-based facility impacts.
• Participate in a weekend on-call rotation approximately twice per month to respond to urgent facility needs.

Your Schedule:

• While the workweek typically follows a Monday through Thursday and Sunday rhythm, this role requires flexibility and is expected to adapt to the church calendar. General on-site hours follow a 40–50 hour per week rhythm depending on seasonal ministry needs, with occasional evening or weekend coverage as required.
