Operations Maintenance information

What is operations maintenance?

Operations Maintenance refers to the ongoing activities required to keep equipment, machinery, and facilities functioning efficiently within an organization. This typically includes routine inspections, preventive maintenance, troubleshooting, and repairing any issues that arise. The goal is to minimize downtime, ensure safety, and extend the lifespan of assets. Operations Maintenance professionals work in various industries such as manufacturing, utilities, and facilities management, playing a crucial role in daily business operations.

What are some typical challenges faced in an operations maintenance role and how can they be addressed?

Operations Maintenance professionals often encounter challenges such as unexpected equipment breakdowns, tight maintenance schedules, and balancing preventive versus reactive tasks. To address these, it's important to prioritize preventive maintenance, communicate effectively with production teams to schedule downtime, and stay current with training on new technologies. Building strong relationships with other departments and maintaining accurate maintenance records can also help minimize disruptions and improve overall equipment reliability.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an operations maintenance professional, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Operations Maintenance professional, you need a solid understanding of mechanical and electrical systems, preventive maintenance techniques, and often a technical diploma or relevant certification. Familiarity with computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS), diagnostic tools, and safety regulations is typically required. Strong problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and effective communication help professionals excel in this role. These skills are crucial for ensuring equipment reliability, minimizing downtime, and maintaining safe and efficient operations.

Job description

Position Summary
Avant is looking for a skilled Property Operations & Maintenance Lead. This is a high-autonomy role for a professional who can transition seamlessly from handyman repairs to light construction, demolition, and event logistics. You aren't just maintaining a space; you are building and reconfiguring the environments where our support programs happen.
The ideal candidate has the grit for "dirty" work (demo, hauling) and the precision for "finish" work (carpentry, detailing, and event setup).
Detailed Scope of Work
1. Carpentry & Specialized Construction
  • Builds: Build and install shelving, workbenches, or custom fixtures to support specific program needs.
  • Light Demolition: Assist in the reconfiguration of newly acquired spaces, including the safe removal of non-load-bearing walls, flooring, and old fixtures.
  • Finish Carpentry: Trim work, cabinetry adjustments, and ensuring all structural additions are durable and professional.
  • Space Reconfiguration: Frame out simple partitions or modify existing layouts to improve flow and utility.

2. Advanced Maintenance & Repair
  • Surface Repair: Expert-level drywall patching, taping, floating, and texture matching. Interior and exterior painting.
  • Plumbing & Mechanical: Immediate repair of P-trap leaks, faucet replacements, and toilet resets.
  • Electrical & Hardware: Replace light fixtures, ballasts, outlets, and switches. Fix "wiggly" door handles, adjust commercial door closers, and ensure all hardware is secure.
  • Flooring: Perform durable repairs on various flooring types (LVP, tile, or concrete).

3. Event Logistics & Space Setup
  • Rapid Transitions: Lead the set up and take down of furniture and equipment for events and programs. This requires speed, safety, and an eye for the aesthetics.
  • Moving & Hauling: Manage the transport of furniture and supplies between locations. Securely load trailers and trucks to prevent damage.
  • Inventory Control: Track and organize all furnishing assets. Maintain an orderly warehouse where tools and inventory are ready for deployment at a moment's notice.

4. Fleet & Facility Stewardship
  • Vehicle Fleet: Maintain a fleet of vehicles in "like-new" condition. Manage the service schedule (oil, tires, brakes), perform deep detailing, and ensure all vehicles are fueled and staged.
  • Exterior Curb Appeal: Power washing, debris removal, and ensuring the exterior of all properties reflects our high standards.
  • Custodial Excellence: Perform deep cleaning and daily upkeep of high-traffic areas to ensure a pristine environment.

Administrative Note
  • Scope of Work: Perform other duties as assigned by Managers or Directors to support the evolving needs of the individuals and the agency.
  • Operational Flexibility: The expectation to work additional hours beyond your primary schedule, availability between 7:00 am to 7:00 pm, to meet the needs of our clients, address emergencies, or ensure operational excellence.

Technical Requirements
  • Construction Literacy: Ability to read simple floor plans and understand the mechanics of a building (studs, joists, plumbing lines).
  • Power Tool Mastery: Expert proficiency with saws, drills, sanders, and demolition equipment.
  • Physical Stamina: This is a physically demanding role. You must be able to lift 75+ lbs, climb ladders, and perform manual labor (demo/moving) for full shifts.
  • Driving: Valid license with a clean record. Experience hauling and backing up trailers is highly preferred.
  • Standards: A "near-perfect" mindset. You fix things so they stay fixed and look professional.

Why Join Avant?
We don't hire "janitors"-we hire stewards of our mission. You will be given the autonomy to manage the properties and the budget for the tools and materials you need to do high-quality work. We value durability, safety, and a "get it done" attitude.
To Apply: Submit your resume and a list of specific projects you have completed (carpentry, home renovations, or fleet management).
