• Complete monthly, quarterly, and annual preventive inspections to identify safety issues, ensure proper maintenance, and communicate concerns to management.
• Perform daily upkeep of buildings and common areas, ensuring the grounds are clean and free of debris, litter, and pet waste.
• Maintain the shop's organization to facilitate quick access to inventory.
• Follow all safety protocols in accordance with OSHA and company standards.

• Assist with pool maintenance and cleaning.
• Diagnose and/or replace appliances and equipment as needed.
• Complete special projects as assigned.
