This role, reporting to the University Architect, involves collaborating closely with the Facilities Planning and Management (FPM) teams, specifically the Planning & Design group to develop conceptual diagrams, designs, renderings and presentations to address institutional needs for review by multiple members of the Washington University leadership team. These preliminary analyses and studies will then be used to advance necessary capital projects that foster learning, innovation, research, and the health, safety and welfare needs of the institution.

With direction from the Zone Manager and Working Supervisor, the Mechanic works with a team of 10-12 multi-craft mechanics to perform routine and emergency multi-craft maintenance tasks for campus facilities. Additionally, the mechanic works closely with internal customers including students, faculty and staff to resolve requested maintenance issues and work orders. Typical craft-specific work includes but is not limited to drywall repair/installation, room finish prep/paint, drop ceiling install/repair, window maintenance and repair, re-lamping/replace ballasts, replacing faulty outlets (including GFI), exhaust fan PM/replacement, clearing clogged plumbing fixtures/pipes, bathroom fixture troubleshoot/repair, HVAC maintenance, repair and PM, and furniture adjustments.
Mechanic (HVAC)
With direction from the Zone Manager and Working Supervisor, the Mechanic works with a team of 10-12 multi-craft mechanics to provide routine and emergency HVAC and multi-craft maintenance for campus buildings. Additionally, the mechanic works closely with internal customers including students, faculty and staff to resolve maintenance issues and work orders. Typical craft-specific work includes, but is not limited to the inspection, troubleshooting, and repair of HVAC equipment and systems using a variety of diagnostic tools such as DDC (Johnson Controls, multimeter, drawings, etc.).
Zone Manager
The Zone Manager is the key individual in the Maintenance Operations organization who interacts between department and the campus community. The Zone Manager is responsible for and supervises the operation of a zone crew of six to fourteen multi-craft or craft-oriented bargaining unit employees who provide maintenance to an assigned section of the campus that vary in size up to over 1.5 million square feet. The Zone Manager also manages small and medium size Facilities-related projects in that area from the conceptual phase to implementation. The Services Manager has a similar level of responsibility, also supervising technical and/or union employees, and typically oversees projects with more complexity and higher costs, but otherwise the Services Manager role shares the same expectations as Zone Manager (unless a separate job description has been created).
