• Troubleshoot recurring issues and provide independent recommendations to prevent future downtime.

Facility & Building Systems

• Repair physical structures, including walls, floors, doors, and general facility components.
• Perform general maintenance tasks including basic carpentry, painting, plumbing, HVAC, and light electrical work.

• Safely work at heights up to 30 feet using aerial or scissor lifts.

Safety, Documentation & Collaboration

• Follow all OSHA safety standards, procedures, and PPE requirements.
• Properly use lockout/tag‑out (LOTO) practices to ensure safe maintenance.
