What We're Looking For
We are looking for someone who
takes ownership of the buildings they are responsible for.
The ideal candidate is mechanically inclined, construction-minded, comfortable working with their hands, and able to recognize what needs attention before it becomes a larger problem.
One day may involve coordinating an HVAC contractor or planning a renovation; another may involve repairing a door, building shelving, modifying a workspace, completing carpentry work, or troubleshooting an issue in the shop.
You should be comfortable deciding whether something can be repaired internally or requires a qualified trade and then taking responsibility for making sure the work gets completed.
The Right Person Will
- Take initiative and follow issues through to completion.
- Have strong carpentry and general construction skills.
- Be comfortable performing hands-on maintenance and repair work.
- Be mechanically inclined and capable of troubleshooting a broad range of building issues.
- Take pride in maintaining clean, safe, functional, and professional facilities.
- Be organized and capable of balancing planned maintenance with unexpected priorities.
- Work effectively with employees, leadership, contractors, and trades.
- Look for opportunities to improve rather than simply maintain the status quo.
- Be interested in growing their responsibilities as MSCP continues to expand.
Career Growth
This position is intended to grow alongside MSCP and our facilities.
As the scope and complexity of our maintenance requirements increase, the
Facilities Maintenance Lead will have the opportunity to assume greater responsibility for maintenance planning, budgets, contractors, capital improvements, facility projects, systems, and future maintenance personnel.
For the right individual, this creates a natural career progression from
Facilities Maintenance Lead to Maintenance Manager.
Why Join MSCP?
This role provides an opportunity to take genuine ownership of MSCP's facilities and have a visible impact on how our buildings and workspaces operate and develop.
You will have the ability to identify problems, recommend solutions, complete improvements, and help build the maintenance systems and practices required to support a growing organization.
This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys
building, fixing, improving, and taking ownership rather than simply managing maintenance requests.
