About The Position

District Focus North Wasco County School District is pleased to announce that we are seeking qualified applicants for the position of Maintenance I. We are very proud of our District and the teachers, administrators, and support staff that provides the best education possible for the children of our community. Thank you for seeking this opportunity to be part of our team. District Mission: “Educating each student to the highest standards while motivating them to reach their fullest potential and graduating them to be college, career and life ready.” The Gorge Lifestyle: The phrase Gorge Lifestyle alone speaks volumes. Located along the banks of the mighty Columbia River, just 84 miles east of Portland, The Dalles is the eastern gateway to the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area. Outdoor enthusiasts find the Gorge to be a perfect environment to pursue wind, snow, and whitewater sports, road and mountain biking, hunting, fishing, hiking, golf and more! Serving as a center of Native American trade for over 10,000 years and the end of the Oregon Trail, history buffs will find the area steeped in history and culture. The Dalles has a quaint and historic small town feel, with a population just over 13,000. Boasting a mere 14 inches of rain annually, The Dalles is home to bountiful agricultural products, including world-renowned cherries, grapes and wheat. It is home to Columbia Gorge Community College, which offers the first wind-power training program in the Pacific Northwest, Google’s Data Center, numerous orchards, vineyards, wineries, craft breweries and a thriving business community. This is an entry level in the Maintenance worker class series. Positions at this level usually assist in the performance of the most basic of custodial, maintenance and grounds duties required of the Maintenance worker positions, but are not expected to function at the same skill level and usually exercise less independent discretion and judgment in matters related to work procedures and methods. This position receives general direction from Maintenance II, III, and supervision from Facilities Supervisor/Facilities Director.
