This is a direct hire opportunity for an experienced, self-sufficient maintenance professional — whether your background is facilities maintenance or maintenance mechanics — who takes pride in fixing things right the first time. If you're a hands-on tech who can independently manage a facility, troubleshoot mechanical and electrical systems, and coordinate outside contractors without needing a lot of direction, this one is worth a look. Candidates with a Limited Maintenance Electrical (LME) license are highly preferred.
