Facilities Technician I
About The Position
Big Bend Health is looking for a dependable, hands-on Facilities Technician I who takes pride in keeping our facilities safe, functional, welcoming, and ready to serve the people who depend on us. This is more than a maintenance job. You’ll be an important part of the team behind the scenes—helping ensure our healthcare and hospice environments are safe, comfortable, and operational every day. If you’re the person who enjoys figuring out how things work, solving problems, working with your hands, and seeing the results of a job well done, we’d like to meet you. As a Facilities Technician I, you’ll support maintenance and facility operations across multiple Big Bend Health locations. No two days are exactly alike. Your work may include performing routine building maintenance and repairs, assisting with HVAC preventive maintenance, filter changes, monitoring, and basic troubleshooting, addressing routine plumbing needs such as clogs, leaks, and fixture repairs, performing authorized electrical and lighting maintenance, completing basic carpentry, drywall, painting, patching, shelving, cabinet, door, and hardware repairs, completing preventive maintenance and facility inspections, maintaining lawns, landscaping, grounds, walkways, parking areas, entrances, and other exterior spaces, safely operating and maintaining lawn and grounds equipment, responding to urgent facility issues, including HVAC problems, leaks, utility interruptions, plumbing failures, and other building concerns, supporting emergency preparedness and disaster response activities, traveling between Big Bend Health locations with tools, equipment, and supplies as needed, moving furniture and equipment and assisting with facility setups, events, and organizational needs, and using our work-ticket system to document work completed, materials used, inspections, and follow-up needs. The position works both indoors and outdoors and provides exposure to a wide variety of building systems, equipment, maintenance activities, and healthcare facility environments.
