Facilities Technician

About This Opportunity

As a Facilities Technician at TVS, you're not just maintaining buildings. You're the reason a science lab is ready for an exciting experiment, an athletic facility can welcome student-athletes, and a theater space is ready to inspire creativity. Your work directly shapes how students learn, ensures teachers can teach, and impacts the way families and guests experience Trinity Valley School. This role is for someone who takes pride in getting things right, who finds satisfaction in solving problems before they become disruptions, and who understands that a well-maintained space is foundational to learning. You'll work alongside a dedicated Facilities team under the direction of our Director of Facilities, tackling everything from routine maintenance to event setup, always with an eye toward keeping our community safe, comfortable, and ready for what's next.

What You'll Do

• Respond to work orders with a sense of urgency and attention to detail, and perform general maintenance, cleaning, and repairs across our campus
• Conduct regular inspections of equipment and building systems, catching potential issues before they impact our students and staff
• Communicate clearly with your team and recommend the right solutions when you spot something beyond your scope
• Ensure that fire, safety, health, and environmental regulations are consistently maintained
• Keep maintenance supplies, equipment, and tools in excellent condition
• Set up and break down spaces for events including Lower School performances, athletic competitions, and community gatherings
• Attend departmental meetings and training sessions to grow your skills and stay current with best practices
• Adapt to changing needs and occasionally adjust your schedule to meet the demands of a dynamic school environment

Who You Are

• Responsible and reliable—someone your teammates can count on
• Bring a mix of technical proficiency and practical, hands-on skill to maintain building systems
• Comfortable working both indoors and outdoors in varying conditions
• Experienced with maintenance work, ideally including HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems
• Approach each task with both urgency and precision
• Strong communicator who works well with colleagues, interacts professionally with staff and vendors, and explains technical issues in ways that make sense to non-technical people
• Work well under pressure and handle emergencies with a calm, problem-solving mindset
• Physically capable—able to lift up to 50 pounds (with assistance when needed), spend long periods on your feet, and move throughout campus as your work requires
• Hold a valid Texas Driver's License
• Find meaning in supporting a school community and recognize that your work enables all of them
• Committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion, understanding that creating welcoming, well-maintained spaces is part of that commitment
