Building Maintenance
Building maintenance includes a variety of tasks that help create a safe and comfortable work or living environment for a building’s tenants. Ranging from anything inside a building, like cleaning bathrooms and maintaining electrical systems, to anything outside a building, like lawn care and landscaping, routine maintenance services are performed to keep properties in tip-top shape. Typically, maintenance teams are broken up into different positions based on specific maintenance services. This structure usually looks something like:
- Janitorial: Common daily tasks include keeping the building clean by mopping the floors, emptying the trash, cleaning the bathrooms.
- Maintenance Technician: Responsible for the regular upkeep and repairs of building systems including HVAC, electrical, and plumbing.
- Maintenance Supervisor: Responsible for the timeline and delegation of tasks that need to be completed for overall building maintenance. Maintenance supervisors are also responsible for the management of staff including hiring and reviews.
