Description
Spreetail is building one of the fastest-growing ecommerce companies in history. We're creating a new, in-house Facilities Technician team to provide dedicated, on-site facilities and material handling equipment (MHE) support for our warehouse operations across the United States.
The Facility Technician will serve as the primary on-site technical resource, working closely with operations leadership, network engineering, procurement, and third-party vendors. This role is critical to ensuring safe, reliable, and uninterrupted fulfillment operations by maintaining building systems, MHE, and conveyance assets, and by responding quickly to unplanned downtime events.
How you'll achieve success:
- Preventative Maintenance: Perform scheduled preventative maintenance on material handling equipment (MHE), conveyors and conveyance systems, storage racking, and facility infrastructure (HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and life-safety systems) as permitted by municipal code.
- Corrective Maintenance: Diagnose equipment failures and respond to downtime events with urgency to restore operations safely and efficiently. Execute hands-on repairs and coordinate external vendors when issues exceed onsite capabilities.
- Facilities & Operations Support: Serve as the on-site facilities point of contact for warehouse leadership. Partner with operations teams to minimize disruption during repairs and maintenance activities.
- Asset & CMMS Management: Maintain accurate asset registries for MHE, conveyance, racking, spare parts, and facility systems. Use a Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) to track work orders and preventative maintenance schedules.
- Team & Vendor Oversight: Interface with third-party service providers for specialized maintenance, inspections, and repairs and manage a team of temporary or contract housekeepers/janitorial staff.
- Compliance: Ensure compliance with safety standards, OSHA requirements, and internal policies.
What experiences will help you in this role:
- 3+ years of experience as an industrial, facilities, or maintenance technician in a warehouse, distribution, manufacturing, or similar environment
- Hands-on experience maintaining and repairing conveyor and sortation systems, material handling equipment, and industrial facility systems.
- Formal technical education, certifications, or training in areas such as conveyor system repair and maintenance, Powered Industrial Trucks (PIT), and electrical or mechanical systems.
- Strong working knowledge of MEP principles (mechanical, electrical, plumbing)
- Familiarity with CMMS platforms
- Experience supervising contractors or temporary labor.
- Experience working in fast-paced, uptime-critical environments.
