The position exists to help maintain safe, reliable, functional, and code-conscious campus buildings and infrastructure by performing preventive maintenance, corrective repairs, equipment inspections, and system installations involving HVAC, plumbing, electrical, mechanical, and related building systems.

The Maintenance Mechanic works independently and collaboratively with Facilities personnel to complete assigned work orders, resolve service interruptions, support campus projects, assist with special event and operational needs, and respond to emergency maintenance situations.

This specific position is assigned to the 2300-0730 night shift and supports Physical Facilities operations during overnight hours. The incumbent is responsible for maintaining safe, reliable, and responsive facility operations during the assigned shift by prioritizing urgent maintenance needs, completing assigned preventive work, monitoring facility conditions, communicating issues requiring escalation, and documenting work performed before turnover to day shift personnel.

• Operate and maintain hand tools, power tools, diagnostic equipment, lifts, service vehicles, and specialized trade equipment in a safe, effective, and job-appropriate manner.
• Conduct routine facility and equipment inspections to identify deficiencies, safety hazards, potential failures, and corrective maintenance needs before they result in avoidable disruptions.
• Support campus renovation, repair, infrastructure, and minor project work by assisting with equipment installation, utility modifications, system shutdowns, start-ups, and commissioning-related tasks.
• Respond to emergency service calls, utility outages, equipment failures, severe weather impacts, and other urgent maintenance needs to restore service, protect campus assets, and minimize disruption to University operations.

Marginal Functions

• Assist other maintenance trades and departments with occasional specialty repairs, project support, or operational needs outside the position's primary assigned work.
• Support campus events on an as‑needed basis by assisting with temporary utility connections, facility preparations, equipment setup, and post-event restoration activities.
• Pick up parts, materials, supplies, or equipment from vendors and suppliers when needed to complete assigned maintenance or project work.
• Participate in periodic safety meetings, required training, certifications, and professional development activities that support safe and effective job performance.
