Maintenance Assistant | Shields Family Hall
About The Position
The Maintenance Assistant is a hands-on role that helps ensure Notre Dame's football facilities are safe, functional, and ready to support daily operations. Based primarily in Shields Family Hall, a 160,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art football operations center, you'll play an important role in maintaining high-quality spaces that serve student-athletes, coaches, staff, recruits, and campus guests. While Shields Family Hall is your primary work location, you'll also provide maintenance and operational support across the Irish Athletic Center (Indoor Practice Facility), LaBar Practice Complex (Outdoor Practice Fields), and key football spaces within Notre Dame Stadium, including the North End Locker Room, Schivarelli Lounge, and Hinton Tunnel. This is an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys variety, takes pride in a job well done, and isn't afraid to roll up their sleeves. One day you may be troubleshooting a maintenance issue, completing repairs, or preparing facilities for daily use. The next, you may be setting up spaces for football camps, recruiting events, or game-day operations. Every day brings a new opportunity to solve problems, support your teammates, and help create an environment where others can perform at their best.
