Weekend Handyman Subcontractor Jobs (NOW HIRING)

NVE is seeking a part-time General Maintenance Worker (GMW) to support additional project and facilities work at two GSA facilities in the Kansas City, Missouri area. This position is intended to provide flexible labor support for work performed in addition to the day-to-day base operations and maintenance (O&M) services at the facilities.

The GMW will primarily assist with project work, contractor support, escorting, GSA service requests, IDIQ work, and other additional services performed at the facilities. Much of this work may occur after normal business hours or on weekends, making this a good opportunity for someone seeking a flexible schedule and hands-on experience in the facilities maintenance trades.

This position is well suited for an individual who has basic maintenance or construction experience, or someone early in their facilities career who is mechanically inclined, dependable, willing to learn, and interested in developing broader trade skills. The successful candidate will work alongside experienced facilities professionals and gain exposure to a variety of building systems, maintenance activities, and project work in a commercial Government facility environment.

The position will be hired as part-time, with hours varying based on project workload and customer requirements. Candidates should have flexibility to work evenings, weekends, and additional hours when project needs arise. As workload and the individual's capabilities grow, there may be opportunities for increased hours, cross-training, expanded responsibilities, and consideration for future full-time positions as they become available.
