Are you the person who notices something needs fixing—and just takes care of it? Do you like working with your hands, solving everyday problems, and seeing the results of your work at the end of the day? Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater La Crosse is looking for a dependable, hands-on Facilities Maintenance Specialist to help keep our Club facilities safe, clean, functional, and welcoming for the kids and families we serve. We're not looking for someone who is an expert plumber, electrician, carpenter, HVAC technician, landscaper, and custodian all rolled into one. We're looking for someone reliable who knows how to get things done. Someone who notices the loose door handle and fixes it. Someone who sees that a room needs attention and takes care of it. Someone who can work through a list without needing constant supervision—and who takes pride in leaving a building better than they found it. If you're handy, dependable, enjoy working independently, and like figuring out how to fix things, we'd like to meet you. What You'll Do No two days will be exactly the same.

You might:

• Complete basic building repairs and maintenance.
• Patch drywall, paint, replace hardware, unclog a drain, change filters, replace light bulbs, or assemble furniture.
• Troubleshoot an equipment or facility problem and figure out the next step.
• Walk through our facilities and identify things that need repair or attention.
• Complete preventative maintenance before small problems become big ones.
• Clean restrooms, floors, common areas, and other spaces as needed.
• Keep maintenance, storage, and work areas organized.
• Mow, trim, clean up grounds, and help keep outdoor areas looking good.
• Help with snow and ice removal during Wisconsin winters.
• Keep track of projects and make sure they actually get finished.
• Work with vendors or contractors when something requires a specialized professional.

Yes, cleaning is part of this job. So is maintenance, fixing things, preventative care, grounds work, and taking ownership of our buildings. This is a hands-on facilities position—not a desk job. The Person We're Looking For Your work history matters, but how you work matters even more. We're looking for someone who:

• Shows up. You are dependable, punctual, and consistent.
• Works independently. You don't need someone standing over you telling you what to do next.
• Notices things. When something is broken, unsafe, messy, or needs attention, you see it.
• Takes ownership. You don't assume someone else will take care of it.
• Follows through. If you start a project, you keep track of it until it's finished.
• Likes fixing things. You enjoy figuring out how things work and solving practical problems.
• Knows their limits. You can tackle everyday repairs but also recognize when it's time to bring in a professional.
• Takes pride in their work. You want the buildings you're responsible for to look good and function well.
• Can change gears.

You understand that sometimes the day's plan changes because something breaks. What Experience Do You Need? We're flexible. Experience in any of these areas could be a great fit: Building maintenance Property maintenance Apartment maintenance School maintenance Custodial work Construction Carpentry Groundskeeping Hotel maintenance Manufacturing maintenance Skilled trades Handyman work You don't need to check every box. If you've spent years fixing things at work or have strong hands-on skills but have never had "Facilities" in your job title, we still want to hear from you. Minimum Requirements
