The Opportunity: Keeping the District in Motion

In Ferguson-Florissant, we believe that a world-class education requires a world-class environment. We are looking for a skilled, versatile, and high-energy General Maintenance Team Member to join our Plant Department team. You aren’t just "fixing things"—you are the guardian of our infrastructure.

If you take pride in a job well done and enjoy a role where you can solve a different puzzle every single day, your next chapter starts here.

Role Summary

As a General Maintenance Specialist, you are a vital member of our district-wide maintenance team. Working under the direction of the Director of Facilities, you will perform a wide range of essential repairs and preventative maintenance tasks. You will be responsible for the mechanical and structural health of our schools, ensuring that everything from the lockers in the hallways to the shingles on the roof is in peak condition.

Why You’ll Succeed (Qualifications)

• Technical Mastery: You have a proven ability to perform diverse repairs including electrical (outlets/ballasts), plumbing (faucets/copper brazing), and carpentry.

• Reliable Professionalism: You have a solid attendance record and a valid driver’s license with a clean driving record, capable of operating a medium-duty truck to navigate between district sites.
• Physical Strength & Agility: You are built for the "strenuous" life—able to lift up to 100 lbs., work comfortably off ladders and scaffolding, and navigate confined spaces with ease.

• Systems Maintenance: Perform critical electrical and plumbing repairs to keep our lighting and water systems running smoothly.
• Structural Upkeep: Execute drywall patching, painting, and tile replacement (vinyl, quarry, and ceramic) to maintain our "New Chapter" aesthetic.
• Hardware & Security: Repair and replace doors, closers, panic hardware, and student lockers to ensure building safety and security.
• Envelope Protection: Inspect and repair various roofing systems (EPDM, shingles, modified) to keep our learning environments dry and secure.
• General Carpentry: Perform building-wide carpentry tasks and window treatment repairs to ensure every classroom is functional and welcoming.
