Your daily responsibilities will include cleaning (sleeping areas, bathrooms, offices, windows, floors, grounds, etc.), garbage and trash removal, painting, landscaping, snow removal, minor repairs, and other maintenance-related assignments.

You’re a great fit for this role if you:

• Can lift 75 pounds.

• Can operate small machinery, power tools, and hand tools. 

• Have a High School Diploma or equivalent OR equivalent experience and skills.

It would be helpful (but not required) if you have:

• Experience in maintenance.

• Some basic knowledge of wiring, boilers, and plumbing.
