Facilities Operations Coordinator I

The Central Council of the Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska (CCTHITA) is a tribal consortium representing the Tlingit and Haida peoples of Southeast Alaska. Established to provide services and programs that support the social, cultural, economic, and educational growth of the Alaska Native and American Indian community, CCTHITA plays a critical role in enhancing the quality of life for its members. The organization operates with a deep commitment to preserving tribal heritage while fostering opportunities for sustainable development. The Facilities Operations Department is an essential part of this organization, tasked with maintaining the physical spaces where these vital services are delivered.

The Facilities Operations Coordinator position at CCTHITA is a full-time, regular employment opportunity designed for individuals committed to supporting the efficient operation, maintenance, and service of the organization’s facilities. Reporting to the Facilities Operations Assistant Manager, this role plays a central part in ensuring that CITC buildings and properties provide a safe, functional, and welcoming environment for staff, participants, and community members. The Facilities Operations Coordinator supports daily operational activities which include tracking work orders, responding to emergent facility needs, managing conference room scheduling, coordinating mail delivery, and supporting access badge creation. The position is classified into three pay grades—Facilities Operations Coordinator I, II, and III—each reflecting progressively advanced responsibilities and skills.

Throughout the course of their work, Facilities Operations Coordinators are expected to engage professionally with the public, internal programs, external agencies, and other tribal or youth organizations. This role is integral in promoting a supportive environment that nurtures collaboration among diverse stakeholders while upholding organizational standards and compliance with relevant regulations. Duties also include administrative support such as payment processing, document organization, and fleet vehicle reservations, making this an organized and multi-faceted role.

The ideal candidate will demonstrate excellent customer service skills, the ability to communicate calmly and compassionately, and strong organizational capabilities. A proficiency in using office technology and software, along with the ability to handle confidential information sensitively according to HIPAA and CFR 25 requirements, is essential. Additionally, flexibility and the ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, multi-departmental support role are crucial for success in this position.

This role not only requires physical stamina to occasionally lift up to 25 pounds and move around the office as needed but also mandates a commitment to the core values of CITC, including respectful leadership, professionalism, emotional intelligence, critical thinking, and effective communication. The Facilities Operations Coordinator is a key contributor to maintaining the infrastructure that supports the broader mission of empowering Alaska Native and American Indian communities through culturally attuned and responsive service delivery.
