Job Description

Summary of Job Demands:

Maintenance is responsible for the installation, maintenance and repair of on-site equipment and general operational needs. Daily tasks may vary heavily depending on equipment functionality, time of year, as well as scheduled annual/monthly checks. The majority of the shift is spent responding to maintenance requests sent by other staff, which are viewed from computer setup. Maintenance is required to view, resolve or escalate submitted requests, and update the resolution status. Request demands can greatly vary, such as changing light bulbs, unclogging toilets, fixing equipment (beds, lifts etc.) or moving furniture.

While Maintenance is not answering requests, they are attending preventative maintenance checks. These checks are also highly variable and includes checking the operation of fire alarms/extinguishers, boiler room equipment, exhaust vents, kitchen equipment or mechanical lifts. Checks can vary from visual inspection, application of lubrication on mechanical motors and checking mechanical operations. Documentation of completed checks is done manually.

The employee may be required to assist housekeepers/PSWs in movement of furniture or packages.

Any tasks that are beyond the expertise of the employee will be contracted to an external company. Due to the various working spaces between branch locations, physical demands of each task will vary, but should remain within reasonable ranges outlined in the PDA
