If you have a strong foundation in painting and finishing and take
pride in your work, we're glad to help you round out the
general-maintenance side of the role. A good painter who cares
about the craft is what we're really after.
ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS:
Your core work is painting and finishing across a large, active
campus — surface prep, priming, and finish-coating drywall, metal
door and window frames, and other surfaces as needed, along with
drywall patching and wall touch-up to make those finishes look
right. Interior and exterior caulking is a regular part of the job,
as is patching and hanging vinyl wall coverings. You'll measure and
estimate square footage and lineal footage to order the correct
paint and materials, and keep the paint shop's supplies and
inventory organized and stocked.
Beyond individual work orders, you'll have a hand in the bigger
picture — helping build and maintain a campus-wide painting plan
that prioritizes needs so the university always puts its best face
forward. You'll respond to painting work order requests as they
come in, and because you'll be moving all over campus, you'll serve
as another set of eyes for the facilities team, flagging other
maintenance needs so we can stay ahead of them.
No one wants to paint the same wall types day after day with
nothing to break it up, and this role has natural variety built in.
You will regularly lend a hand to the carpentry team on the kinds
of jobs that get you out of the paint shop for a while — hanging
pictures, TVs, and whiteboards, helping with office and furniture
moves, and assisting with storefront and glass work. It is a
welcome change of pace that keeps the days varied while the
carpenters get an extra set of capable hands.
Like everyone in facilities, you'll also pitch in on general
maintenance and cross-departmental work when the situation calls
for it — event setups, snow removal, and emergency response are
shared efforts across the team.
General Employee Expectations:
- Follow the guidance and direction of supervisor(s).
- Demonstrate respectful, ethical, responsible behavior.
- Abide by the University’s policies, procedures, and rules.
- Perform employee responsibilities as detailed in employee
handbooks and policies.
- Demonstrate regular and predictable attendance and
punctuality.
- Other duties, including special projects, as required or
assigned.
