Duties
What makes this role unique?
As the sole technician of the Ecology headquarters building, you play a crucial role as the first point of contact for tenants seeking assistance with building issues. Multiple government agencies have office space in this building, each with their own identity, mission, and corresponding needs and processes, offering this position a unique blend of challenges and variety. Much like other office spaces, the building is transitioning from traditional in-office work to a hybrid format. You will play a key role in facilitating that change as smoothly as possible.
What you will do:
Conduct daily in-person inspection and assessments of the building and grounds.
Coordinate with vendors and tenants to facilitate repairs.
Perform general repairs and maintenance of building hardware and fixtures.
Respond to customer inquiries or concerns in a timely manner.
Perform Planned Preventative Maintenance service to assigned building equipment.
Maintain an orderly tool shop and workspace.
Build healthy relationships with the building tenants and vendors.
Qualifications
Required Qualifications:
Years of required experience indicated below are full-time equivalent years. Full-time equivalent experience means that any experience where working hours were less than 40 hours per week will be prorated in order to meet the equivalency of full-time. We would calculate this by looking at the total hours worked per week, divide this by 40, and then multiply by the total number of months worked. Examples of the proration calculations are:
30 hours worked per week for 20 months: (30/40) x 20 months = 15 months full-time equivalent
20 hours worked per week for 12 months: (20/40) x 12 months = 6 months full-time equivalent
Experience for both required and desired qualifications can be gained through various combinations of formal professional employment, education, and volunteer experience. See below for how you may qualify.
Option 1:
High School Diploma or equivalent.
Completion of a recognized apprenticeship in a skilled trade.
One year of experience as a journey-level worker in building and equipment maintenance, construction, or repair work.
Option 2:
High School Diploma or equivalent.
Equivalent experience and/or education in facility maintenance and system testing.
Special Requirements/Conditions of Employment:
Must obtain and maintain a valid driver’s license.
Desired Qualifications: We highly encourage you to apply even if you do not have some (or all) of the desired experience below.
Experience working within a preventative maintenance program.
Knowledge of Fire Alarm and Fire Suppression systems and their testing procedures.
Hazardous materials handling and safe disposal.
Material storage and inventory control.
Understanding of building-related emergency response procedures.
Note: Having some (or all) of this desired experience may make your application more competitive in a highly competitive applicant pool.
