United Way of Greater St Louis is seeking a Facilities Specialist to perform basic cleaning and maintenance of the building and grounds. As Facilities Specialist, each day may be a little different. You’ll process mail, coordinate deliveries, set up rooms for meetings, organize and maintain storage areas, and clean and maintain the office’s common areas. This is a “hands on” role – this role is suited for someone who likes to be active during the workday.
You’ll take inventory of building supplies, maintaining and stocking common areas; ensuring there are beverages in the conference rooms, supplies at the coffee stations, and copy paper at printers and copiers. When deliveries are being made, you will be on the dock. You’ll receive and sort office mail, delivering it to the correct office. While there is a cleaning crew every night, you might do spot cleaning and vacuum cleaning during the day. We have an in-house print shop, and we will provide training on using the equipment.
There is some minimal outside work involved. While a service maintains the landscaping and shovels during the winter months, you may find yourself spreading salt on the sidewalks. There is some limited computer work involved as you will use a laptop to access maintenance request and to create reports.
If you are interested in a role with a lot of variety, possess some analytical abilities and a mechanical/”fix it” orientation, and have some general knowledge of standard office equipment we’d like to hear from you. The ability to observe building systems and office equipment, report potential issues to supervisor, and recommend solutions to simple problems is a plus.
