Are you someone who takes pride in keeping things running smoothly? Do you like variety in your workday-solving problems, working with your hands, and seeing the direct impact of your work? We're looking for a reliable, hands-on Facilities Manager to help us maintain safe, welcoming spaces across our 17 branch locations throughout Northern Michigan.
What You'll Do:
You'll be the go-to person keeping our facilities in top shape-from our Alpena headquarters to branches across the region. One day you might be fixing a door, coordinating with an HVAC vendor, and inspecting a branch for safety compliance. The next, you could be winterizing a foreclosed property or planning preventative maintenance schedules. If you enjoy working independently, staying busy, and take satisfaction in a job well done, this role offers exactly that.
Your Day-to-Day:
Deliver Exceptional Service: Provide service that aligns with our Service Promises-serving happily with energy and competence, being knowledgeable and accurate, and taking ownership of every request
Keep Things Running: Handle routine, preventative, and corrective maintenance-carpentry, plumbing, painting, minor electrical work, and general building upkeep across all locations
Be the Facilities Expert: Conduct regular inspections, spot issues before they become problems, and jump on urgent maintenance needs
Coordinate the Pros: Work with trusted vendors for HVAC, roofing, electrical, plumbing, janitorial, landscaping, and snow removal-getting quotes, scheduling work, ensuring proper licensing and insurance, and monitoring performance
Stay Compliant: Keep up with OSHA, ADA, and building code requirements; conduct safety inspections and implement corrective actions as needed
Track & Plan: Monitor maintenance expenses, maintain detailed records of inspections, repairs, warranties, and vendor work, and help with budget preparation and preventative maintenance planning
Foreclosed Properties: Inspect, winterize, clean, secure, and coordinate repairs on foreclosed properties as needed
Stay Organized: Maintain tools, equipment, and storage areas in safe and orderly condition
What Makes You a Great Fit:
You're handy and enjoy a variety of maintenance work-you don't need to be an expert in everything, but you have a working knowledge of building systems, maintenance practices, safety standards, and basic compliance requirements
You're organized and can juggle multiple projects, vendors, and priorities seamlessly
You're a self-starter who works independently on routine tasks with minimal supervision and knows when to escalate issues
You communicate well with vendors, team members, and leadership
You're comfortable working independently and traveling regularly to branch locations
You're comfortable using Microsoft Office tools for documentation and communication
Qualifications:
High school diploma or GED required; vocational/technical school training, apprenticeship completion, or associate degree in related field preferred
2+ years of experience in facilities maintenance, building maintenance, property management, or a related hands-on trade
Working knowledge of basic carpentry, plumbing, electrical systems, HVAC, and general building systems
Valid driver's license required for regular travel between branch locations
Why Work With Us:
Variety: No two days are the same-you'll work across multiple locations and tackle different challenges regularly
Autonomy: You'll have the freedom to manage your work and make decisions
Impact: You'll directly contribute to creating safe, functional spaces for our members and employees
Community: Serve a Credit Union that's been supporting Northeast Michigan for decades and gives back to the communities
Excellent Benefits Package:
401(k) with 100% match up to 4% plus an additional 4% profit share contribution
Medical, dental, and vision insurance
Company-paid life insurance (2x annual salary)
Short-term and long-term disability for financial protection
Generous paid time off
Nine paid holidays, including your birthday
And much more!
