Summary of Job Demands:

Maintenance is responsible for the installation, maintenance and repair of on-site equipment and general operational needs. Daily tasks may vary heavily depending on equipment functionality, time of year, as well as scheduled annual/monthly checks.

Maintenance is required to view, resolve or escalate submitted requests, and update the resolution status. Request demands can greatly vary, such as changing light bulbs, unclogging toilets, fixing equipment (beds, lifts etc.) or moving furniture.

Checks can vary from visual inspection, application of lubrication on mechanical motors and checking mechanical operations. Documentation of completed checks is done manually.
