Careers

The AIMS Maintenance Technician supports the safe, functional, and well-maintained operation of the school campus by completing routine repairs, minor maintenance, and general handyman projects as assigned by the Finance & Operations Manager, or other administrators as needed.

This position complements the work of the school’s contracted cleaning and groundskeeping services and is primarily responsible for maintenance needs that arise outside the scope of those services. The Maintenance Technician works independently on assigned projects, communicates promptly regarding maintenance and safety concerns, and identifies when a repair requires a licensed or specialized contractor rather than in-house work.

On-call availability for immediate safety and operational concerns, and the ability to work independently is a must.

Because work is performed in an active school environment, the Maintenance Technician is expected to maintain a safe work area, use appropriate precautions around children and staff, and conduct all work in a professional manner consistent with the mission and policies of Amelia Island Montessori School.
