Facilities Maintenance Technician I/II

Washington County's Department of Facilities, Fleet, and Parks takes great pride in the planning, construction, maintenance, and repair of nearly 45 County-owned buildings (over 1.9 million square feet), grounds, parks, and associated hard-scape. We are looking for two Facilities Maintenance Technicians to join our skilled team in Facilities Division.

The Facilities Maintenance Technician II is the full journey-level class within the Facilities Maintenance Technician series. Employees in this class are distinguished from the Facilities Maintenance Technician I by the performance of the full range of duties as assigned. Employees at this level receive only occasional instruction or assistance as new or unusual situations arise and are fully aware of the operating procedures and policies within the work unit. Positions at this level are flexibly-staffed and are normally filled by advancement from the Facilities Maintenance Technician I level. For a complete list of essential duties, please use this link: Facilities Maintenance Technician II

Don’t have a Limited Building Maintenance Electrician’s license (LBME) or equivalent? That’s OK! This position is budgeted at the Facilities Maintenance Technician II, journey level, which requires the LBME license. However, Facilities is happy to underfill the position at the apprentice-level depending on the candidate pool and business needs. If hired at the I level, you will be actively enrolled in an LBME apprenticeship program upon employment with Washington County. Enrollment in the program will continue until you obtain the State of Oregon Limited Building Maintenance Electrician's license (LBME), or equivalent. You will have (1) year to obtain the LBME once you have reached the 2000 hours of electrical experience and completed all LBME classes.

The Facilities Maintenance Technician I is the apprentice-level class in the Facilities Maintenance Technician series. Employees at this level work closely with an assigned technician with the goal of learning the standard practices of the Facilities trade and providing support to the higher-level technicians within the trade. This class is distinguished from the Facilities Maintenance Technician II, in that the apprentice is an active participant in a structured apprentice program leading to full journey-level work. On-the-job training will be provided for entry-level candidates. For a complete list of essential duties, please use this link: Facilities Maintenance Technician I

The ideal candidates for these positions are committed to contributing to an inclusive and safe space for everyone, within and interacting with the Facilities, Fleet, & Parks Department. We are looking for an energetic Facilities Maintenance Technician professional with a passion for public service, an eye for detail, a strong work ethic with the ability to multi-task and adapt to reactive and emergency situations, demonstrate good communication skills, and have consistent attendance. They will enjoy performing routine tasks and be able to shift priorities to respond to urgent work requests with pride, professionalism, and a positive demeanor. The ideal candidate will be interested in growing their skill set and sharing their knowledge with others on the team.  

Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply for jobs unless they believe they can perform every job description task. We are most interested in finding the best candidate for the job and that candidate may come from a variety of backgrounds and lived experiences. If you are interested in applying, we encourage you to think broadly about your background and skill set for the role, even if you believe you do not meet all the hiring criteria described above.
