Facilities Technician

Pillar Church • Scottsdale, AZ

10d • Onsite

About The Position

The Facilities Technician is the operational anchor of Pillar's Facilities team — present when our guests are present. This person owns the day-to-day cleanliness, readiness, and presentation of our campus, with a heavy emphasis on weekend coverage and Sunday evening closing. This is a hands-on, behind-the-scenes role for someone who finds joy in serving the guest they may never meet. As Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 12:21–25, every part of the body matters — and the readiness of our facilities is a direct extension of how we love our people on the weekend they walk in.

Requirements

• Strong attention to detail — sees what the guest sees and fixes it before they notice.
• High level of ownership — closes loops without being asked twice.
• Willingness to serve behind the scenes — finds joy in the work no one notices when it's done well and recognizes that facilities work is ministry.
• Flexibility with operational demands — potential back to back weekends; comfortable with shifting plans as needs arise from the team.
• Ability to work independently as well as be a team player with the rest of the facilities team.
• Physical readiness — able to lift and carry 50+ lbs, climb ladders, kneel, bend, stand for extended periods, and work in mechanical rooms and outdoor heat.
• Working knowledge of basic maintenance (HVAC, plumbing, electrical fundamentals); willing to learn and grow what you don't know yet.
• Teachable attitude that proactively seeks feedback and takes action to improve.
• Effective communication skills, both verbal and written — showing respect in all interactions with team and congregants.
• Proficiency in basic computer applications (Gmail, Google Calendar / Master Calendar, Planning Center, MS Office, Asana).
• Committed follower of Jesus aligned with Pillar's statement of faith & Lead Here Expectations.

• Perform post-service drain, clean, and sanitize.
• Maintain baptismal equipment and supplies inventory.

• Support routine and preventative maintenance under oversight’s direction — HVAC, plumbing, electrical basics, lighting, doors, general repairs.
• Execute all work orders, log completion, and surface deferred items.

• Support facility improvement projects (paint, drywall, carpet patches, minor construction) as assigned.
• Help oversight build, lead, and develop the Facilities Volunteer Team (extension of the Build Team).
• On-the-ground coordinator for volunteers during weekend setup and teardown.
• Live Pillar's servant-leader posture with volunteers — go first, go the extra mile.
