• Complete minor electrical, plumbing, carpentry, painting, and general building repairs
• Install and repair shelving, fixtures, furniture, equipment, and classroom items

• Use power tools and maintenance equipment safely and effectively
• Assist with facility improvement projects and renovations
• Communicate maintenance needs, project updates, and repair timelines with center leadership

We’re looking for someone who:

• Takes initiative and doesn’t wait to be told what needs attention
• Is a strong problem solver who enjoys finding practical solutions
• Can work independently with minimal supervision
• Works well as part of a two-person maintenance team
• Communicates professionally with directors, teachers, vendors, and families
• Is organized and able to prioritize multiple tasks and projects

SCHEDULE

This position is primarily scheduled Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM.

While most work occurs during regular business hours, occasional early mornings, evenings, or weekends may be required to address facility emergencies or complete projects that cannot be performed while children are present.
