Our work is grounded in compassion, respect, relationship-building, and the belief that the people we serve are active partners in their recovery. We are looking for an experienced, dependable Facilities Maintenance Technician to help keep our residences, facilities, vehicles, and grounds safe, functional, and well maintained. About the Position The Facilities Maintenance Technician is responsible for day-to-day maintenance and preventative maintenance across CSC locations. This is a hands-on position for someone who can recognize problems, determine what can be safely handled in-house, coordinate outside professionals when needed, and follow through until the issue is resolved. Because our facilities are also residential environments, this position regularly interacts with residents and staff. The successful candidate will be professional, respectful, comfortable working around others, and mindful of how maintenance work affects the people who live and work in our facilities. This position reports to the Operations Manager and includes participation in after-hours on-call coverage for facilities-related emergencies. What You'll Do Respond promptly to maintenance concerns reported by staff and follow issues through to resolution. Perform routine, scheduled, and preventative maintenance at agency facilities and residences. Complete minor plumbing, electrical, heating, carpentry, construction, and general repairs that do not require a licensed professional. Identify and report unsafe conditions, maintenance concerns, and potential safety hazards. Coordinate and schedule third-party contractors and service providers when specialized or licensed expertise is required. Complete weekly, monthly, annual, and other scheduled facility checks. Maintain accurate facility and maintenance records, including fire safety documentation, inspection records, vehicle service information, and Safety Data Sheets (SDS). Perform required water-quality sampling and water-temperature testing and maintain related documentation. Help ensure agency vehicles remain current with required inspections, registrations, repairs, and routine service. Maintain an organized inventory of agency-owned tools, equipment, and maintenance supplies. Use the agency's computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) to manage work orders and maintenance information. Travel between CSC locations as needed. Participate in after-hours response to emergency facilities-related calls. Maintain safe, clean, and functional environments for residents and staff. Communicate professionally and effectively with staff, residents, supervisors, contractors, and other members of the CSC team. Perform other related duties as assigned. What We're Looking For The ideal candidate is a practical problem-solver who can work independently, manage competing priorities, and recognize potential maintenance or safety issues before they become larger problems.
Qualifications include:
High school diploma or GED. 5+ years of progressively responsible experience in facilities, property, building, or general maintenance. An equivalent combination of relevant training and experience may be considered. General knowledge of building maintenance methods, materials, tools, and safe work practices. Ability to perform minor plumbing, electrical, heating, carpentry, and general building repairs within the scope of the position. Ability to determine when a repair requires a licensed or specialized outside contractor. Strong organizational and time-management skills. Ability to plan and prioritize daily work with minimal supervision. Ability to communicate clearly and professionally, both verbally and in writing. Basic computer skills and willingness to use email, calendars, work-order/CMMS software, and other agency applications. Ability to maintain accurate maintenance and inspection documentation. Ability to establish positive working relationships with residents, coworkers, supervisors, and outside vendors. Valid driver's license, reliable transportation, and automobile insurance. Ability to lift and move objects weighing up to 60 pounds. Work Environment This position works across multiple CSC facilities, including residential settings serving adults experiencing mental health and/or substance use challenges. The Facilities Maintenance Technician will have regular interaction with residents and must maintain appropriate professional boundaries, confidentiality, and respectful communication. The position requires the ability to work independently, exercise sound judgment, respond appropriately to changing priorities, and remain professional in situations that may occasionally be stressful. Evening, overnight, or weekend work may occasionally be required, including response to after-hours facilities emergencies. The Person Who Will Be Successful in This Role You'll likely be a good fit if you're someone who: Notices something that needs attention and takes initiative to address it. Can organize your own workday and stay productive without constant direction. Takes pride in completing repairs correctly and following through. Understands the difference between a repair you can safely complete and one that needs a licensed professional. Communicates when something is wrong rather than allowing an issue to become a bigger problem. Is comfortable working in active residential environments. Treats residents, coworkers, and contractors with patience, kindness, and respect. Brings solutions and ideas when problems arise. Is dependable and understands that maintaining safe facilities directly supports the people who live and work in them. Collaborative Solutions Corporation is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
