Hospital Facilities Maintenance Technician

Job Description

Job DescriptionYour day, your impact

You begin with a quick scan of the preventive maintenance schedule, then walk the hospital to inspect critical building systems. You clean and lubricate equipment, check readings, and document performance. A call comes in about a flickering exam room light—you safely diagnose and replace a faulty switch. Later, you reference blueprints to trace an electrical issue, use test instruments to validate your fix, and coordinate with the team so patient care is never interrupted.

What you will do

• Carry out preventive maintenance on hospital building systems and equipment to keep operations safe and efficient.
• Troubleshoot mechanical, electrical, and facility issues using technical manuals, blueprints, and testing tools.
• Inspect, clean, lubricate, and repair building service equipment in line with established PM schedules.
• Repair or replace minor electrical components, including lighting fixtures, switches, and related parts.
• Perform general building maintenance on doors, cabinets, walls, fixtures, and other facility elements.
• Maintain precise records of maintenance activities, inspections, and equipment performance.
• Assist with HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical systems to support a safe healthcare environment.
• Follow OSHA, hospital safety, and infection control procedures on every task.
• Respond quickly to maintenance requests to minimize disruptions to patient care and hospital operations.
