• Safety & Compliance: Ensure all buildings meet fire codes and "Crime Free Multi-Housing" standards. Conduct regular site inspections to identify potential hazards.
• Conduct inspections of facilities to identify repair needs and coordinate necessary repairs or upgrades
• Monitor maintenance activities using project management principles to optimize resource allocation and minimize downtime
• Contractor Oversight: Source, vet, and supervise external trades (plumbers, electricians, roofers) for major capital projects or specialized repairs.
• Collaborate with management to plan budgets, schedules, and long-term maintenance strategies for multiple properties or manufacturing sites

Experience

• Technical Versatility: A "Jack/Jill of all trades" with proven experience in plumbing, electrical, drywall, painting, and general carpentry.
• Leadership: Experience managing staff or sub-contractors and the ability to organize complex schedules.
• Problem-Solving: The ability to diagnose building issues quickly and determine whether a "quick fix" or a professional replacement is necessary.
• Communication: Comfortable interacting with a diverse tenant base with kindness and clear boundaries.
• Availability: Must be able to participate in an "on-call" rotation for after-hours maintenance emergencies.

Qualifications

• Experience in residential or commercial maintenance.
• Valid Saskatchewan Driver's License and a reliable vehicle (mileage reimbursed).
• Physical ability to lift 50+ lbs, climb ladders, and work in various weather conditions.
• Successful completion of a Criminal Record Check (Vulnerable Sector).
