Position Summary: As a Facilities Maintenance Technician - Level 1, I report directly to the Facilities Field Manager and support the routine care and maintenance of Elk Ave Hospitality properties. I complete basic repairs, inspections, cleaning, preventive-maintenance tasks, material handling, grounds work, seasonal preparation, and supervised maintenance. I work alongside Level 2 and Level 3 technicians to develop my skills and understanding of building systems. I am expected to recognize conditions outside my training or authorized scope and elevate them immediately rather than attempting work I am not qualified to perform. My goal is to become a reliable Facilities team member while building the skills required for greater technical responsibility. Basic Maintenance & Repairs I complete assigned work orders for basic repairs and general building upkeep. I perform approved adjustments, assembly, touch-up work, hardware replacement, filter changes, and light carpentry. I complete work within my training and authorized scope. I keep work areas organized and clean. I communicate incomplete work or additional repair needs to the Facilities Field Manager. I ask for guidance when I am unsure how to safely complete a task. Preventive Maintenance & Inspections I complete scheduled preventive-maintenance checklists using approved procedures. I inspect restaurant, housing, and building areas for visible problems. I look for leaks, damage, trip hazards, unusual noises or odors, temperature concerns, blocked drains, failed hardware, and other deficiencies. I document findings accurately. I communicate conditions requiring additional technical attention. I help prevent larger problems by identifying issues early. Technician & Contractor Support I assist Level 2 and Level 3 technicians with assigned maintenance and repair work. I help with setup, cleanup, material handling, access, and jobsite organization. I assist outside contractors when directed. I help locate equipment, work areas, and relevant building components. I observe and learn from more experienced technicians while respecting trade and safety boundaries. I support safe and efficient completion of maintenance work. Property & Seasonal Support I support snow and ice response, grounds work, trash and debris removal, and seasonal property preparation. I assist with grease-trap service coordination and related property access when assigned. I help prepare buildings and outdoor areas for changing seasonal conditions. I support housing and property turnover tasks as needed. I maintain safe and orderly work areas while completing property-support tasks. Work Orders & Documentation I use the approved work-order system to document assigned work. I record labor, materials, photographs, completion notes, and unresolved conditions. I clearly communicate when additional work or technical support is required. I help maintain reliable maintenance records by documenting work accurately. I use company phones, tablets, and communication tools appropriately. Safety & Trade Boundaries I perform work only within my training, demonstrated competency, and company authorization. I immediately elevate life-safety hazards, active leaks, electrical concerns, significant equipment failures, and other urgent conditions. I recognize when work requires a Level 2 or Level 3 technician or licensed contractor. I do not attempt regulated or specialty work outside my authorized scope. I follow required PPE, ladder, tool, access, and workplace-safety practices. I protect guests, employees, residents, and company property while work is underway. Learning & Development I actively participate in job-related training. I ask questions and seek feedback from more experienced technicians. I work to improve my understanding of tools, equipment, preventive maintenance, and common building systems. I apply training consistently in the field. I build competency over time so I can safely take on greater responsibility. I support a culture of accountability, teamwork, and continued learning.
