About The Position

At UPLIFT Desk, we’re not just building ergonomic workstations—we’re shaping how people work and live. As the ecommerce industry leader in height-adjustable desks, we’ve grown by delivering innovative, customer-focused solutions that promote health, productivity, and well-being. As a Facilities Maintenance Engineer at UPLIFT Desk, you will help maintain our facilities, equipment, vehicles, and leased properties. This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys figuring out how things work and how to fix them. When something breaks, you’ll diagnose the problem, research solutions when needed, determine what parts or materials are required, and work to complete the repair using our internal resources whenever practical. This role requires experience across multiple types of maintenance and repair work, along with the ability to learn and troubleshoot unfamiliar problems. You’ll also work directly with tenants in our leased spaces, coordinate maintenance responsibilities, prepare basic written agreements, track expenses and bills, and follow through on amounts owed. We’re looking for someone who takes ownership of problems from identification through resolution rather than automatically relying on an outside contractor.

Requirements

Strong hands-on experience troubleshooting and completing facility, equipment, mechanical, or general repairs.
Ability to diagnose unfamiliar problems, research solutions, identify needed parts and materials, and determine how to complete the repair.
Working knowledge across multiple maintenance areas such as HVAC, plumbing, electrical, automotive, carpentry, or general building maintenance.
Ability to independently prioritize maintenance needs and follow problems through to completion.
Professional written and verbal communication skills with the ability to work effectively with employees, tenants, vendors, and contractors.

Experience preparing basic agreements, tracking expenses, invoicing, or collecting amounts owed.

Responsibilities

Diagnose and repair facility, equipment, vehicle, and property issues using internal resources whenever practical.
Troubleshoot problems, research solutions, and determine the parts, tools, materials, and steps needed to complete repairs.
Perform hands-on maintenance and repairs across building, mechanical, plumbing, HVAC, electrical, automotive, and other facility systems within the scope of the role.
Source and order parts, tools, and materials and work with other team members to complete repairs.

Communicate directly and professionally with tenants regarding repairs, access, responsibilities, costs, and timelines.
