The Helper (L94)-1 is responsible for non‑technical general building maintenance, custodial duties, light maintenance activities, and minor repairs in commercial properties. Work is performed under close supervision and may include loading, unloading, and moving materials as directed by engineers. The role also involves responding quickly to emergency situations and customer service requests.
The position operates in a professional office environment but frequently requires travel between properties and work in varying weather conditions. Standard office equipment such as computers, phones, and photocopiers is used regularly.
Employees must follow all applicable codes, regulations, and company directives while practicing safe work habits. Required safety training is completed annually, and a uniform dress code must be maintained on and off property. Physical demands include stooping, standing, climbing, and regularly lifting at least 50 lb, as well as the ability to speak clearly and read technical documents.
A high school diploma or GED equivalent is required, and participation in an apprenticeship or trade school is preferred. At least one year of related experience in a commercial property setting is desirable. Key competencies include technical proficiency, initiative, flexibility, multi‑tasking, and a sense of urgency.
The role may be the sole maintenance staff member on certain shifts, requiring extended periods without relief, overtime, shift work, on‑call, or standby duties. Mechanically inclined candidates are preferred.
