Facilities Maintenance Technician

We are seeking a mid-level Facilities Maintenance Technician to support the Facilities Manager/Supervisor in maintaining mechanical systems and overall property operations at our new, 100,000+ sq. ft. state-of-the-art hospital designed for advanced specialty and emergency care.

About the role

Duties involve assisting in maintaining all mechanical systems as well as the general maintenance of the commercial property. You will assist in daily maintenance scheduling and task completion, perform light driving duties as needed, and function daily with minimal supervision while inspecting the premises and reporting issues directly to your supervisor.

Due to the sensitivity of supporting a medical facility, some work must be scheduled for "off hours" to avoid interrupting medical staff, patients, and workflow. Medical and client needs always take priority over maintenance work. Maintenance team members are also "on call" to respond to any building emergency issues.

  • Fire Evacuations and Safety
  • Hazmat Remediation
  • Weather Emergencies (may include extended onsite coverage)
  • Major Equipment Failures

Typical Daily/Weekly Tasks

• Medical Gas/Vacuum Systems: Monitor gas reserves and medical pump activity, documenting quantities and meter readings. Check outlets and hoses for leaks.
• Fire Detection/Suppression Systems: Check system status of controls. Report all anomalies. Perform minor upkeep, e.g., drain condensate from suppression lines.
• Lighting: Check all interior and exterior lighting and replace as needed, including task and medical lighting fixtures.
• Plumbing: Ensure all sinks and drains are clear; all faucets, toilets, etc. are in proper operating condition, including waste water sumps, drains, and exterior drainage.
• Electrical: Examine equipment for damaged electrical connections, outlets, breaker panels, and GFI faults.
• HVAC: Check all HVAC systems and ensure proper temperatures are being maintained. Inspect belt wear, condensate pans, etc.
• General Conditions: Inspect all areas of the building interior for cleanliness and damage and take appropriate steps to rectify.
• General Equipment: Assist in equipment evaluation and repairs.
• Central Vacuum Systems: Ensure system is emptied and clog-free.
• Grounds Maintenance: Ensure property is clean and free of debris. Provide trash receptacles.
• Snow Removal: Assist in snow removal and deicing when needed. Safely operate snow removal equipment. Coordinate with the snow removal contractor and monitor their responsibilities.
• Work Orders: Respond to staff general requests for assistance or maintenance.
• Transportation: Assist in transporting patients and supplies.
• Shipping & Receiving: Prepare paperwork and packaging to ship medical equipment. Receive and unpack medical equipment and log shipping documentation.

Requirements

• Minimum Requirements:
  • High school diploma or equivalent
  • Strong oral and written communication skills
  • General computer knowledge and ability to use computerized work order management systems
  • Excellent interpersonal skills
  • Basic knowledge of maintenance and construction practices
  • Ability to perform duties with minimal supervision
