• Keep work orders organized and communicate status to management.
• Assist with basic electrical and kitchen equipment upkeep.

What We’re Looking For:

• Hands-on experience in general, building or facilities maintenance.
• Working knowledge of mechanics; carpentry and plumbing experience a plus.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to prioritize multiple repairs.
• Clear communication and a friendly, professional repl with staff and managers.
• Basic computer skills for work orders and email.

Requirements:

• High school diploma or 2 years of maintenance/construction experience.
• Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation.
• Able to lift and carry 50 lbs.
• Able to climb stairs and ladders and work in tight or confined spaces.
• Able to stand for long periods, with or without reasonable accommodation.

Schedule:

Full-time, typically Monday–Friday, daytime. Occasional nights and weekends for specific projects.

Compensation & Benefits:

• $25-27/hour, based on experience.
• Health, Dental, & Vision Insurance.
• 401(k) with company match.
• Free Movies!!!
