General Accountabilities include:

Site Maintenance Ownership

• Serve as the primary maintenance resource for the assigned facility and independently manage daily maintenance needs with limited supervision.
• Plan and prioritize work based on safety, food safety, operational impact, urgency, preventive maintenance due dates, and available resources; manage time so the scheduled workday is productive and fully accounted for.
• Inspect, diagnose, and critically think through equipment and building failures; determine root causes, complete durable repairs, test operation, and avoid repeat failures.
• Proactively inspect the facility, identify developing conditions, and initiate corrective work before issues become failures or operational disruptions.
• Communicate accurate status, risks, downtime, parts needs, and expected completion dates to Operations and the Facilities Manager.

Work Order, Asset, and Cost Control

• Use the computerized maintenance management system (CMMS/eMaint) as the daily system of record for all maintenance activities.
• Create and maintain work orders with a clear problem description, troubleshooting performed, root cause, corrective action, parts used, downtime, completion status, and necessary follow-up.
• Attach each work order to the correct asset and verify the asset tag, location, manufacturer, model, serial number, and available asset data against the physical equipment; report or correct discrepancies.
• Execute preventive maintenance completely and accurately; record actual readings, measurements, findings, deficiencies, and corrective actions rather than closing tasks without verification.
• Create corrective work orders for deficiencies found during inspections or preventive maintenance and manage them through completion.
• Charge all labor time, parts, materials, purchases, receipts, and vendor costs promptly and accurately to the correct work order and asset.

Administrative and Communication Responsibilities

• Demonstrated proficiency in commercial or industrial electrical troubleshooting and installation, including circuits, breakers, disconnects, receptacles, lighting, controls, motors, and use of a multimeter.
• Safely plan and install a new receptacle or similar branch-circuit addition where one did not previously exist, including load evaluation, circuit and conductor selection, routing, grounding, protection, testing, labeling, and code-compliant workmanship.
• Demonstrated proficiency in mechanical, plumbing, carpentry, drywall, roof, doors and hardware, HVAC, roof, building-envelope, and general facility repairs.
• Inspect, troubleshoot, maintain, and perform authorized repairs on warehouse equipment, including, but not limited to, conveyors, dock doors and levelers, wrappers, compactors, balers, scrubbers, lifts, batteries, chargers, and related controls.
• Perform trained and authorized forklift/material handling equipment inspections, troubleshooting, adjustments, and repairs within demonstrated competency; document findings and coordinate qualified service vendors for work outside that scope.
• Read and interpret electrical diagrams, equipment manuals, schematics, parts breakdowns, technical instructions, and manufacturer specifications.
• Apply lockout/tagout, electrical safe-work practices, fall protection, mobile-equipment safety, and other required controls before and during work.
• Recognize when work requires a licensed trade, permit, specialized equipment, manufacturer support, or vendor; secure the area and escale with a clear scope and recommendation.
• Clear communication skills, both written and verbal, with peers, leaders and vendors

Prerequisites:

• Minimum five years of hands-on commercial, industrial, warehouse, manufacturing, or facilities maintenance experience, or an equivalent combination of technical education and demonstrated experience.
