Maintenance Tech II

This job opening is for a Maintenance Technician II position, a crucial role within the facilities management team responsible for the upkeep and efficient operation of building systems. The hiring organization appears to be a well-established facility that values the expertise and dedication of maintenance professionals to ensure a safe and pleasant environment for occupants and visitors. While the specific company name is not provided, the role is designed for an individual with strong technical skills in trades such as plumbing, electrical work, carpentry, HVAC, or refrigeration. The job is offered as an on-site position with a Monday to Friday schedule, specifically from 3 pm to 11:30 pm, providing a structured but engaging work routine. The existence of on-site parking is an added convenience for employees commuting to the site.

The Maintenance Technician II is tasked with performing both preventive and corrective maintenance on all facility and building systems. This comprehensive responsibility ensures that all technical equipment and infrastructure remain operational and in good repair, minimizing downtime and maintaining safety standards. A key element of this position is the ability to complete specialized repairs within the scope of one’s technical expertise — for instance, expertise in plumbing, electrical work, carpentry, or other mechanical trades. This makes the role vital for the ongoing functionality and safety of the entire building or facility. Beyond repair tasks, the technician also undertakes general maintenance duties around the site, which may include grounds upkeep and routine facility monitoring. During shifts, the maintenance technician may also be called upon to manage plant operations and provide shift oversight, highlighting the position’s leadership and responsibility components.

Candidates must meet specific educational and licensing criteria to be considered. The role requires a minimum of a high school diploma or GED and a State Journeyman's License in one of several specialty trades such as Plumbing, Electrical, Carpentry, or Chief Engineer. Alternatively, equivalent experience is considered valid in lieu of licensure, particularly in specialized trades like HVAC or Refrigeration. This flexibility acknowledges the value of hands-on experience and technical proficiency gained over time in relevant trades. Furthermore, the candidate must have a valid Vermont driver’s license and maintain a safe driving record, which underlines the need for reliability and responsibility in safety-sensitive roles.

Experience-wise, the employer seeks a candidate with two to three years of related work experience, ensuring that the technician is not only skilled but also familiar with practical, real-world maintenance challenges and solutions within their trade. The position offers an additional $2.50 per hour evening shift differential, recognizing the value of working during off-peak hours and providing a financial incentive for employees on late shifts. This is a full-time, on-site role that requires dedication and the ability to work closely with other maintenance and operations staff to support the overall integrity and functionality of the facility.
