Tips for applicants

Lead your resume with a concise summary of hands-on facilities maintenance in school or similar settings, then foreground experience with HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and building systems, along with any work order system use.

Back up must-have skills with concrete proof, cite specific projects, the work-order software you’ve used, and how you documented time and materials. If you have a history lifting loads or coordinating small crews, highlight those tasks and the positive outcomes you achieved.

Prepare to talk about safety inspections, including playground and property checks, and be ready with an example of how you identified a safety issue, fixed it, and communicated the solution to leadership.

Ask a pointed question about capital replacement: how the team prioritizes needs, what thresholds trigger a capital project, and how a maintenance lead collaborates with school staff during renovations to minimize disruption to students and families.
