About the Role

Keep our offices running smoothly so our teams can focus on delivering exceptional patient care.  As a Facility Coordinator, you'll ensure seamless maintenance operations across all our locations - managing work orders, coordinating repairs, maintaining equipment, and serving as the go-to person for keeping our physical environments safe, functional, and professional.  This role is perfect for a hands-on problem-solver who takes pride in creating well-maintained workspaces.  You'll be the person our teams depend on when something needs fixing, organizing, or improving - making a tangible impact on everyone's daily work environment.

• Receive, manage, and process work order requests across all locations
• Ensure problems are resolved timely and accurately
• Respond to maintenance calls promptly and appropriately
• Perform routine maintenance including repairs, cleaning, organizing, and waste disposal
• Maintain organized tracking systems for work orders and maintenance activities

Maintain Equipment and Systems

• Maintain climate control systems at each location
• Arrange and facilitate specialized repairs as needed
• Monitor equipment conditions and identify maintenance needs proactively
• Ensure compliance with safety and infection control standards

Coordinate with Vendors and Contractors

• Manage vendor relationships professionally
• Obtain quotes and schedule services as needed

Support Facility Operations

Ensure Compliance and Safety

What We're Looking For

Required Qualifications

• High school diploma or GED
• Minimum 1 year of experience in healthcare or related setting
• Reliable transportation with valid automobile insurance
• Willingness to travel regularly between company office locations

Essential Skills

• Excellent verbal and written communication abilities
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite for creating reports and trackers
• Ability to work independently in a fast-paced environment
• Problem-solving skills with hands-on maintenance capabilities
• Customer service orientation with professional demeanor
• Flexibility to respond to urgent maintenance needs

What Makes You Successful

You're a resourceful problem-solver who can assess a maintenance issue, determine the best solution, and either fix it yourself or coordinate the right contractor to handle it.  You take pride in keeping facilities looking professional and functioning properly, understanding that a well-maintained workspace helps everyone do their best work.  You're organized and systematic, tracking work orders efficiently, following up to ensure completion, and maintaining clear documentation.  You can juggle multiple requests across different locations, prioritizing urgent needs while keeping routine maintenance on track.  You're comfortable working independently, spending significant time traveling between locations without daily direct supervision.  You're self-motivated and take initiative - when you notice something that needs attention, you take care of it rather than waiting to be asked.  You're adaptable and responsive, understanding that urgent maintenance issues can disrupt your planned schedule.  You remain calm when emergencies arise, whether it's a plumbing issue, HVAC failure, or equipment malfunction requiring immediate attention.  You communicate well with diverse stakeholders - employees reporting issues, contractors performing repairs, and leadership requesting facility improvements.  You're professional, courteous, and focused on creating positive experiences even when addressing problems.

Why Join Us?

This role offers variety and independence - you'll work across multiple locations rather than being confined to one office, and you'll have the autonomy to manage your schedule and priorities.  You'll see the direct results of your work in well-maintained facilities that support our healthcare mission.  We provide training on our specific facilities and systems, opportunities to develop your maintenance and coordination skills, and a supportive environment where your contributions keep operations running smoothly.

Professional Growth:

• Exposure to facilities management across multiple healthcare office locations
• Development of vendor management and coordination skills
• Training on healthcare facility compliance and safety standards
• Opportunities to lead facility improvement projects
• Potential for expanded responsibilities as organization grows

Work Environment and Schedule

This position requires moderate to high travel between company office locations on a regular basis.  You'll spend your time traveling to various sites, conducting maintenance work, coordinating repairs, and responding to urgent facility needs.  The role has a high degree of schedule disruption - routine is frequently interrupted by urgent maintenance issues, equipment failures, or unexpected facility problems requiring immediate attention.  Flexibility and the ability to pivot quickly are essential to success in this role.  Physical demands include standing, walking, bending, lifting (up to 50 lbs), using tools and equipment, and working in varied conditions including potentially uncomfortable temperatures when HVAC systems need repair.
