A Hands-On Role That Makes a Difference:
East Gate Kids is looking for a dependable, skilled Maintenance Technician / Handyman to help care for our early learning center.
When you're maintaining a school, the details matter. A loose cabinet, a room that needs fresh paint, furniture waiting to be assembled, or a small repair can directly affect the children and teachers using that space every day.
We're looking for someone who takes pride in their work, notices what needs attention, and enjoys being the person others can count on to get things fixed and keep our facility looking its best.
What You'll Do:
This is a hands-on position with plenty of variety. You'll help with general facility maintenance and repairs throughout the center, including:
- Light painting and touch-ups.
- Furniture assembly, installation, and minor repairs.
- Basic plumbing repairs and troubleshooting.
- Basic electrical maintenance and minor repairs.
- General facility upkeep and preventative maintenance.
- Identifying maintenance or safety concerns before they become larger problems.
- Moving furniture, equipment, and supplies as needed.
- Helping maintain safe, clean, functional spaces for children and staff.
Who We're Looking For:
- We're looking for someone who is handy, dependable, and safety-conscious.
- You should be able to work independently, communicate well with our team, manage multiple small projects, and take pride in completing work correctly. Because you'll be working in an early childhood environment, professionalism, good judgment, and awareness of children's safety are especially important.
Qualifications:
- A high school diploma or GED is required, along with experience performing general maintenance, handyman, construction, property maintenance, or similar work.
- Candidates must be able to lift more than 40 pounds, remain active throughout the workday, safely use common hand and power tools, and complete any background screening required for individuals working within a licensed early childhood environment.
Why East Gate Kids?
East Gate Kids is a model 5-Star early learning center committed to creating beautiful, intentional environments where children can learn, explore, and thrive.
Our maintenance team plays an important part in that mission. You'll have the satisfaction of seeing the impact of your work every day while becoming part of a team that genuinely cares about the building, the people in it, and the families we serve.
