This position requires someone who is physically fit, mechanically inclined, and has strong problem-solving skills.

Key Responsibilities

You will operate industrial vacuum cleaners to effectively remove scraps, dirt, heavy debris, and other refuse from common areas and building exteriors.

Technical Maintenance

You will be expected to make adjustments and perform minor repairs to heating, cooling, ventilation, plumbing, and electrical systems.
