Introduction

The Department of Facilities and Fleet Management supports Prince William County government by providing safe and sustainable facilities and fleet services. To fulfill that purpose, the Department hires a diverse, highly trained, highly skilled, and engaged workforce.

The Property Management Division is seeking a Maintenance and Operations Specialist to deliver maintenance and small renovation projects. If you take pride in walking a job site, holding contractors to a standard, and handing a finished space back to the people who use it every day, this is a role where your work is visible in the community.

Are you a problem solver who wants to make a difference in the community? Do you enjoy variety, ownership, and a workplace where no two buildings are the same? Then this job is for you.

About This Role

The Maintenance and Operations Specialist plans, coordinates, and oversees maintenance, repair, and small renovation projects in County leased facilities. This position is the Divisions presence at the job site and the point of contact who keeps a project moving from request through closeout.

The successful incumbent will be able to:

• Define scopes of work for maintenance and small renovation requests and build realistic schedules for work in occupied buildings.
• Oversee contractors and trades staff on site, verify installed work against County standards and contract requirements, and resolve field conditions before they affect cost or schedule.
• Apply working knowledge of commercial building systems, including HVAC, plumbing, electrical, structural, and life safety systems, to evaluate conditions and recommend repair or replacement.
• Work with landlords, property managers, and building owners at leased facilities to resolve maintenance and repair responsibilities under the terms of the lease.
• Verify work in place against amounts billed, and route documentation for approval.
• Maintain accurate project records, estimates, inspection documentation, photographs, and warranty information in the Division system of record.
• Communicate clearly with building occupants about schedule, disruption, and cost, and provide status updates that leadership can rely on.
• Provide direction and technical guidance to less experienced maintenance staff and to vendors performing work on County property.
• Identify recurring failures and recommend process, standard, or capital improvements that reduce cost and downtime across the portfolio.
• Stay current with codes, industry practice, and advances in building systems and materials, and apply them to County work.

This position includes access to a County vehicle and a County issued cell phone for the performance of assigned duties. Prince William County offers a comprehensive benefits package that includes health care coverage, participation in the Virginia Retirement System, paid time off, and support for continuing professional development, training, and certification.
