  • Patch and paint drywall, repair sheetrock, and preserve building surfaces to maintain a professional and safe environment.
  • Perform pool maintenance checks and address chemical or mechanical concerns to ensure compliance and safety.
  • Repair or replace damaged building materials, flooring, doors, windows, locks, or hardware to maintain security and functionality.
  • Coordinate with vendors and contractors, oversee work quality, and obtain estimates or bids for upcoming projects.
  • Order and stock supplies, materials, and parts to ensure readiness for both planned projects and emergency repairs.
  • Maintain detailed documentation of completed work, materials used, and vendor services.
  • Communicate clearly with supervisors and impacted departments about repair timelines and facility conditions.
  • Inspect emergency lighting systems, safety equipment, and exits to ensure emergency preparedness.
  • Apply knowledge of OSHA guidelines and SDS requirements when handling tools, chemicals, and materials.
  • Train team members on preventive maintenance procedures and safety best practices.
  • Respond promptly to unexpected maintenance issues — including after-hours emergency calls when necessary.

Throughout your day, you help create a safe, inclusive, and welcoming environment where programs can run smoothly and members can focus on their health and well-being. You take pride in problem-solving, staying ahead of issues, and ensuring the facility operates efficiently.
