Job description

Overview

The Facility Maintenance Technician plays an essential role in maintaining the operational excellence of large-scale event venues, including arenas, convention centers, and similar facilities. In this hands-on role, you’ll ensure the reliability and functionality of critical building systems such as HVAC, plumbing, electrical, climate controls, telecommunications, ice systems, roofing, and facility cleaning equipment.

The ideal candidate is comfortable managing multiple projects simultaneously, operating heavy equipment like forklifts and scissor lifts, and occasionally assisting with event preparations, including setting up staging, flooring, seating, and related equipment. Flexibility to work evenings, weekends, and holidays as required is essential for this role.
