Building Maintenance Jobs

Keeping an office building, apartment complex, school, or medical center in good condition takes a lot of work. A small apartment building with fewer than 10 units might need one person to clean common areas, shovel snow, and make minor repairs. Larger facilities like hospitals or multi-floor office buildings need to hire more employees to be responsible for a wider variety of building maintenance jobs.

Part of having a building maintenance job is knowing when to undertake a task like painting or fixing a leaky drain versus calling in a specialist like a plumber or an electrician. Along with manual skills, you’ll need to have good communication and customer-service skills to interact with building residents and other workers. Being a good troubleshooter is also essential so you can find solutions to problems. If this is what you're looking for, go ahead and start searching for your next opportunity right here on Monster.
