This is not just a “hands-on” maintenance and operations role, but an all-encompassing position where you will make a difference on how systems are run based on routine analysis and equipment changes to ensure optimal performance. This company is loyal to employees, especially those who demonstrate the desire to succeed, and has promoted many of the Facilities Technicians (we helped interview) into higher level leadership roles.
