- Clean, repair, replace, and fit components and parts as needed to restore function.
- Operate hand and power tools and maintenance equipment correctly and safely.
- Spot early signs of wear or malfunction and address them before they escalate.
- Keep the maintenance shop clean, orderly, and compliant with safety expectations.
- Adhere to all company health, safety, and environmental policies and practices.
- Handle general building and facility upkeep when assigned.
- Pitch in on broader maintenance projects and team priorities.
