Daily Operations:

The Facilities and Maintenance Team Member’s primary responsibility is to execute the maintenance and upkeep of the following: Major Systems, Basic Facility Maintenance, and Critical Facility Infrastructure.

Major Systems:

• Maintain clean, safe, and fully operation facilities that are code compliant and provide a comfortable environment for KWF Team Members, customers, and vendors. 
• Maintain fully operational HVAC equipment for all facilities.
• Maintain fully operational refrigeration systems for all facilities.
• Maintain fully operation plumbing systems for all facilities.
• Maintain fully operational food service equipment for all applicable locations.
• Maintain fully operation generators and transfer switches for applicable facilities.
• Other systems maintenance as assigned by supervisor.

Basic Facility Maintenance:

Basic facility maintenance is typically scheduled to be done within the standard work week schedule. Emergency situations do apply but are less frequent than those in the critical infrastructure category.

• Maintain all miscellaneous facility equipment (i.e., check-out lanes, cleaning equipment, etc.)
• Maintain facility lighting, including replacement, repair, and system management.
• Maintain facility docks, including overhead doors, dock levelers and dock plates.
• Maintain facility entry and exit points, including automatic doors, key and lock, door closers, etc.

• Maintain consistent trash and recycling pick-ups via contracted haulers.
• Coordinate with property management for building maintenance (i.e. roof repairs, sidewalk/parking lot repairs, etc.).
• Other duties as assigned by Supervisor.

Critical Infrastructure:

• Critical infrastructure maintenance is often time sensitive and requires excellent communication skills and strong coordination capabilities.
• The ability to maintain positive relationships with outside contractors is a must.
• This category also demands absolute urgency regardless of previously planned work and/or the time of day.

Emergency Response:

• The KWF Facilities and Maintenance Team Member is part of the KWF Emergency Response Team and must be responsive outside of regularly scheduled hours. Emergency responsibilities include being scheduled “on-call” for after-hours refrigeration emergency alarms and calls.
