Facilities Technician

Instrumentum is hiring a Facilities Technician for our Richmond, VA offsite reprocessing center. $24.00–$34.00 per hour, depending on experience.

Keep the building running so the instruments can keep moving.

Instrumentum is a national sterile processing partner — we help hospitals and surgery centers run efficient, compliant, and safe instrument reprocessing operations. The building you maintain is what makes that possible: HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and the sterilization equipment itself all depend on the work this role does every day.

The job

Two full-time shifts available at this location — day shift and evening shift — supporting a facility that combines climate-controlled interior space with rooftop and mechanical-room work.

What you will do

•     Execute scheduled preventive maintenance on HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and other facility infrastructure

•     Perform routine inspections to catch wear, safety concerns, and equipment issues early

•     Respond to maintenance work orders from sterile processing and other departments

•     Handle basic repairs — filters, leaks, lighting, minor equipment malfunctions

•     Monitor the building automation system and report anomalies

•     Perform general upkeep: painting, minor carpentry, door and hardware repairs

•     Document all maintenance activity and repairs in the work order system

What you need

•     6 months to 1 year of experience in building maintenance, facilities operations, or a related trade (HVAC, electrical, plumbing, or general maintenance)

•     Ability to use hand tools, power tools, and diagnostic equipment safely

•     Willingness to participate in an after-hours on-call rotation for emergencies

•     Ability to work varied schedules

What we would like to see

•     OSHA 10 certification

•     CPR and First Aid certification

•     Prior experience in a healthcare, laboratory, or commercial facility environment

•     High school diploma or equivalent

Who does well here

People who'd rather fix the small problem before it's a work order than wait for it to become one. You're comfortable moving between a climate-controlled office and a rooftop unit in the same shift, and you document what you did instead of just doing it.

The physical side of the job

This is a production/clinical-adjacent environment — climate-controlled indoors and rooftop/uncontrolled spaces, with ladders and occasional confined spaces. We'd rather you know now than find out in week two.

•     Standing and walking more than half your shift

•     Frequent reaching, grasping, and hands-on tool work

•     Lifting up to 50 lbs regularly; occasional lifting over 50 lbs

•     Frequent exposure to biohazardous materials and strong chemical odors; regular PPE use

•     Climbing, balancing, bending, and stooping as a routine part of the job

•     Reasonable accommodation may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions of this position

Pay and benefits

•     $24.00–$34.00 per hour, depending on experience and qualifications

•     Medical, dental, and vision insurance, effective the first of the month after your start date

•     Company-paid life insurance, plus short-term and long-term disability

•     Flexible Spending Account (FSA)

•     401(k) with company match — eligible from your first day

•     Paid time off starting at 10 days, increasing with tenure, accruing from day one

•     9 paid holidays

•     Employee Assistance Program

•     Paid every two weeks

Schedule and location

Full-time, on-site. Two shift options: 7:30 AM–4:00 PM or 2:00 PM–10:30 PM. After-hours on-call rotation required.
