About This Role

Join our Austin team as a Building Services Technician performing facility maintenance, repairs, and minor commercial construction.

• • Diagnose facility issues, estimate materials, source vendors, and manage small repair budgets.
• • Follow OSHA and site safety protocols, use PPE, maintain clean, hazard-free work areas, and perform site cleanup.
• • Communicate directly with clients, supervisors, and team members to coordinate scope, timelines, and handoffs.
• • Organize daily tasks, track time and materials, meet deadlines, and work independently with minimal supervision.

What We're Looking For

• • Comfortable with physical demands: lifting up to 50 lbs, climbing ladders, working on scaffolds, and confined spaces.
• • Working knowledge of building codes, ADA standards, and commercial-grade materials.
• • Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation to job sites.
• • Proficient with basic technology: smartphone/tablet, email, scheduling apps, and digital work orders.
• • Reliable attendance, ability to work flexible hours, and strong on-site communication skills.

Qualifications

• • Bilingual English/Spanish preferred.
• • OSHA 10 safety card preferred (or equivalent safety training).
