• Handle seasonal responsibilities, including snow removal, ice control and salting to keep walkways, entrances and parking areas safe and accessible.
• Safely operate tools and equipment, properly use required PPE and follow established safety procedures, including SDS/MSDS and chemical-handling requirements.
• Prioritize maintenance requests and projects, manage multiple assignments and complete work accurately and on schedule.
• Maintain clean and organized maintenance areas, properly care for tools and equipment and complete required maintenance documentation.
• Work independently on assigned projects while collaborating with Maintenance, Production and other departments to respond to facility needs.
• Other duties as required.
