Job description

Reef Tectonics (est. 1993) is a preferred provider of Reactive and Preventative Maintenance Services for several Facility Management Companies with a national presence. We're hiring a Field Service Technician on a \"Per Workorder Basis\".

This is a great fit for a skilled maintenance/handyman tech looking for additional income. Compensation is a $15.00 per hour base wage plus revenue sharing on every ticket you complete. Here is what that means in practice: technicians who perform in line with company performance expectations should earn an average of $25 per hour; outstanding technicians should earn in the $35 per hour range; and technicians who respond to Emergency Service Requests in 4 hours or less can expect compensation in the range of $50 per hour. Under no circumstances will you be paid less than $15.00 per hour.

The ideal candidate will self manage their schedule and ensure work is completed within the proper time frames based on Priority Levels and authorized times on site. You will need a reliable vehicle. We can provide tools or you can use your own if you prefer.

What you'll do:

• Perform Bi-weekly site surveys of a key client in the region.
• Handle general facilities/handyman tasks: minor HVAC (filters, basic repairs), plumbing/PVC, drains, lighting/ballasts, ceiling and floor tiles, and door hardware.
• Perform Reactive Repairs, retrofits, etc. of Commercial Aquatic Systems.
• Manage your own route around assigned work orders and keep records.
• Take your turn on the after-hours emergency rotation - nights, weekends, and holidays.

What you need:

• Valid driver's license and a clean driving record (you'll drive your vehicle but will be subject to approval by our insurance provider).
• Mechanical aptitude and comfort with hand and power tools; basic plumbing, electrical, and repair skills.
• Ability to lift up to 80 lbs and work in tight spaces.
• Reliability and self-direction; you manage your own schedule within work-order windows.
• Smartphone with a data plan and basic comfort using work-order apps.
• Preferred: aquarium (hobby counts!), a facilities/maintenance background, or an HVAC/plumbing/electrical license. EPA card for handling refrigerants is a big plus.

Details:

• W-2 employee; ticket-based with a flexible schedule.
• Pay: $15.00/hour guaranteed minimum, plus per-ticket revenue sharing (see the compensation summary above).
• Based out of Sacramento, CA; mostly local work, travel opportunities may be offered on a case by case basis.
• A clean criminal background check (since you'll work unsupervised inside client businesses).
• Benefits: none. We do not offer health, dental, or vision insurance.

Before you apply, please know:

We do not offer health, dental, or vision insurance, and we have no plan to add a benefits package. The compensation described above is the entire offer. If coverage matters to you or your family, this role will not meet that need - and we would rather you know that now than after an interview.

This role also includes after-hours emergency work. Aquatic life does not keep office hours - tanks fail at night, at weekends, and over holidays. Emergency response is a shared, rotating responsibility rather than an occasional favour, and it is paid at a premium rate (see the compensation summary above). If you are not able to take your turn on that rotation, this role will not be a fit.
