The Maintenance Worker performs recurring building and/or utility maintenance and operation duties and assists journeymen and higher-graded maintenance workers. The typical seasonal entry-on-duty period for the Seasonal Staffing Office at San Juan National Historic Site is March through July 2027.

Standard duties include maintenance and repair of facilities, structures, grounds, trails, and other developed areas using hand tools, power tools, vehicles, materials, and equipment. Work may include painting, carpentry, plumbing, masonry, grounds maintenance, custodial work, and other general maintenance activities. Workers follow work orders, instructions, safety requirements, and established procedures, and document completed work or identified maintenance needs.

At WG-06, the worker performs routine repairs and installations involving building components, fixtures, facilities, and developed areas; handles work across multiple trades; measures, lays out, cuts, fits, assembles, installs, adjusts, or repairs materials and components; and operates and maintains power tools and motorized equipment such as chainsaws, grounds-maintenance equipment, light trucks, or ATVs.

The worker may also provide basic technical guidance to lower-graded workers.
