Facilities Technician

Instrumentum is hiring a Facilities Technician for our Richmond, VA offsite reprocessing center. $24.00–$34.00 per hour, depending on experience.

Keep the building running so the instruments can keep moving.

Instrumentum is a national sterile processing partner — we help hospitals and surgery centers run efficient, compliant, and safe instrument reprocessing operations. The building you maintain is what makes that possible: HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and the sterilization equipment itself all depend on the work this role does every day.

The job

Two full-time shifts available at this location — day shift and evening shift — supporting a facility that combines climate-controlled interior space with rooftop and mechanical-room work.

What you will do

Execute scheduled preventive maintenance on HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and other facility infrastructure

Perform routine inspections to catch wear, safety concerns, and equipment issues early

Respond to maintenance work orders from sterile processing and other departments

Handle basic repairs — filters, leaks, lighting, minor equipment malfunctions

Monitor the building automation system and report anomalies

Perform general upkeep: painting, minor carpentry, door and hardware repairs

Document all maintenance activity and repairs in the work order system

What you need

6 months to 1 year of experience in building maintenance, facilities operations, or a related trade (HVAC, electrical, plumbing, or general maintenance)

Ability to use hand tools, power tools, and diagnostic equipment safely

Willingness to participate in an after-hours on-call rotation for emergencies

Ability to work varied schedules

What we would like to see

OSHA 10 certification

CPR and First Aid certification

Prior experience in a healthcare, laboratory, or commercial facility environment

High school diploma or equivalent

Who does well here

People who'd rather fix the small problem before it's a work order than wait for it to become one. You're comfortable moving between a climate-controlled office and a rooftop unit in the same shift, and you document what you did instead of just doing it.

The physical side of the job

This is a production/clinical-adjacent environment — climate-controlled indoors and rooftop/uncontrolled spaces, with ladders and occasional confined spaces. We'd rather you know now than find out in week two.

Standing and walking more than half your shift

Frequent reaching, grasping, and hands-on tool work

Lifting up to 50 lbs regularly; occasional lifting over 50 lbs

Frequent exposure to biohazardous materials and strong chemical odors; regular PPE use

Climbing, balancing, bending, and stooping as a routine part of the job

Reasonable accommodation may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions of this position

Pay and benefits

$24.00–$34.00 per hour, depending on experience and qualifications

Medical, dental, and vision insurance, effective the first of the month after your start date

Company-paid life insurance, plus short-term and long-term disability

Flexible Spending Account (FSA)

401(k) with company match — eligible from your first day

Paid time off starting at 10 days, increasing with tenure, accruing from day one

9 paid holidays

Employee Assistance Program

Paid every two weeks

Schedule and location

Full-time, on-site. Two shift options: 7:30 AM–4:00 PM or 2:00 PM–10:30 PM. After-hours on-call rotation required.
