This role is critical to ensuring that all facilities and systems remain operational, directly impacting the quality of healthcare provided to the community. The position requires a strong background in both construction and maintenance within commercial healthcare settings, as well as the ability to make critical decisions regarding project conditions and concerns. Staff in this role will be expected to provide guidance and assistance to colleagues, present complex information in public forums, and handle questions and criticism effectively. The job entails performing journeyman-level carpenter duties, which may include concrete work, installing doors, building cabinets, drywall repair, and painting.
